Title: Aline Barnsdall Hollyhock House Living Room Fireplace (1917 - S.208) 1954.
Description: In 1926, Aline Barnsall donated Hollyhock House to the City of Los Angeles, with a lease going to the California Art Club. By 1942, the city had condemned the house and ordered it to be vacated, due to structural damage. The home was left in shambles. A minor restoration project was undertaken in 1945. In 1954 Frank Lloyd Wright designed a Master Plan for Barnsdall Park which included a museum which remained a unbuilt. (Monograph 8, p.146-7). Also in 1954, Barnsdall Park was the one of the stops for Wright’s traveling exhibition "Sixty Years of Living Architecture." The premiere of the exhibit in Los Angeles was held at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Center at Barnsdall Park on June 1, 1954. A temporary pavilion, similar to the pavilion in New York, was attached to the line of kennels that reached from the house to the garage. The entrance to the pavilion was through the Hollyhock House. (Wright, 1943-1959, p.346). Photographed on May 27, 1954, days before the exhibition opened. Note the pond in front of the fireplace which has been filled in.

Description: A traveling exhibition of Wright's work, consisting of models, photographs and original drawings. A Preview of the exhibition was held in Philadelphia (January 1951). The world wide tour opened in Palazzo Strozzi Florence, Italy (June 1951).

The Exhibition catalogs are dated: Paris (April 1952), Zurich (End of May 1952), Munich (May 16 - June 15, 1952), and Rotterdam (dated June 1, 1952). After two years in Europe the exhibition crossed the Atlantic to Mexico City, then to New York (1953). After an exhibition in Los Angeles, June, 1954, the final exhibition took place in Chicago, October, 1956. The Los Angeles exhibition premiere was held at Barnsdall Park’s Municipal Art Center on June 1, 1954, then open to the public from June 2 to July 11, and was extended to July 25, 1954. A temporary pavilion, similar to the pavilion in New York, was attached to the line of kennels that reached from the house to the garage. The entrance to the pavilion was through the Hollyhock House.

Set of 18 interior photographs during a trip to Los Angeles, September 1994. View of the Living Room Fireplace looking South. The Fireplace is the focal point of the Living Room. "The bas-relief at the fireplace is composed in blocks of art-stone and ranks among the few and great mural abstractions that Wright deigned. Strictly geometric, monochromatic and austere in pattern, it is at the same time rich in references..." Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House, Hoffmann, p.61. Designed in 1917 by Frank Lloyd Wright as an appropriate style for Southern California, the house was built in 1920-1921. Barnsdall’s plan for the 36 acre Olive Hill was to include her home, theater and an arts community. Of all the projects Wright designed, only Hollyhock House and two additional residences were built. Residence B was demolished. Barnsdall lived in the home until 1927, when she gave Hollyhock House and eleven surrounding acres to the city of Los Angeles for use as a public art park in memory of her father, Theodore Barnsdall. For the next fifteen years the house was home to the California Art Club. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner. 1) Aline Barnsdall Hollyhock House Living Room Fireplace 1994 (1917 - S.208).
