Title: Building Harmonies. Frank Lloyd Wright in the South West
Author: (Produced by KNME TV, Albuquerque, New Mexico)
Description: "Known throughout the world as one of the greatest architects of all time, Frank Lloyd Wright is often called the father of American architecture. This program, which presents his philosophy of architecture, was recorded throughout the Southwest and presents several houses of his design. It also features Taliesin West, the school of architecture founded by Wright. There, nestled in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains near Scottsdale, Arizona, architects who worked and studied with Wright are teaching his concepts to a new generation of architects. The largely undeveloped American Southwest was the perfect environment for Wright to experiment with his idea that the house should reflect the owner's lifestyle. The Southwest became a perfect venue for his "'organic" architecture." Producer: Monica Fischetti, Palmieri Williams. Written by: Cindy Gaillard, Matthew Sneddon. Original list price $20.00.

Title: The Artists of Taliesin (Soft Cover) (Publishe by The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Taliesin West, Scottsdale, AZ)
Author: The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation
Description: Includes the wrork of thirty Taliesin Artists. Introduction: Frank Lloyd Wright said, "Universality is no virtue in itself. It may only be weakness or default. To the individual we must look for that quality in life we call creative."
Taliesin life is based on the principal of participation in all work, of learning by doing. Acquiring the expertise necessary for architecture, however, is not the only accomplishment expected. There are related activities in music, both instrumental and choral, graphic design, sculpture, writing, interior design, wood and metal working, stained glass, costume design, stage design, painting, weaving, pottery, and photography. The opportunity for the individual to discover and develop her or his creative life at Taliesin is limitless.
The Taliesin Arts Festival has been established to bring together many of the products of this search for the creative life by the Taliesin Fellowship and to share them with each other and with our many Friends of Taliesin.

Author: Howard, Hugh; Photographed by Straus, Roger III
Description: The buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright exercise a kind of architectural magic on the people who visit them, inspiring a sense of wonder at their visual elements, dramatic energy, and ingenious compositional features. These qualities are no more evident than in the buildings that Wright designed for himself and his family. Wright for Wright is the first book to focus exclusively on these seven houses and ten other structures. Free from the constraints of the client-architect relationship, the buildings present Wright at his unfettered best. Photographed for the first time in exquisite, full-color panoramic views by longtime Wright photographer Roger Straus, these images capture the buildings as part of the landscape-- the way Wright envisioned them. As well, Hugh Howard's insightful text reveals an intimate understanding of the great architect's art and philosophy. (Dust Jacket) First Edition. Original HC List Price $50.00. Two copies.

Title: Taliesin West: Frank Lloyd Wright's Desert Laboratory (Soft Cover) (Published by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Scottsdale, Arizona)
Author: Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation
Description: Informational booklet about Taliesin West. "Frank Lloyd Wright is arguably the best-known architect in the world. With a career that spanned seven decades until his death at the age of 91 in 1959, Wright designed 1,114 architectural works of which 532 were built, a list that includes everything from homes and a gas station to corporate headquarters, churches, a civic center, and a museum. An iconoclast who shunned the norms both professionally and personally, he steered American architecture away from its tightly wound Victorian motifs and pioneered such enduring design innovations as the open floor plan, the use of natural illumination, the blurring of lines between indoors and out, and the exploration of materials. Most important, he developed the concept of organic architecture - the philosophy that a building should respect and evolve from its natural setting..." Contemporary photographs by Andrew Pielage.

Title: Taliesin West, Scottsdale, Arizona, 1946, (1937-38 - S.245).
Description: A set of 56 photographs by Maynard Parker at Taliesin West. In 1946, Elizabeth Gordon, editor of House Beautiful, made the decision to show case Taliesin West, the winter home and studio of Frank Lloyd Wright. "One man's house. We give much lip service to two architectural principles: That a man's house should be a personal expression and that it should take its place naturally in the landscape. Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and work shop in Arizona really does both. The result is beautiful, exciting, and very hard to explain..." Photographer Maynard Parker spent five days at Taliesin West, May 24-28, 1946. This partial set of 56 photographs was photographed during that visit. 30 of the photographs were published in the December 1946 issue of House Beautiful. Part of a set of 56 photographs by Maynard Parker at Taliesin West in May 1946. See the Complete set of 56 photograph by Maynard Parker.

Description: Set of 87 - Color 13 x 20 High Res Digital images photographed on April 16, 2014 during a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona. Ten years after our first visit to Taliesin West, and armed with a newer camera, we had the opportunity to visit Taliesin West again, tour the complex and thank Arnold Roy, Margo Stipe and Oskar Munoz, for there assistance in our endeavor publishing "Frank Lloyd Wright, Nakoma Clubhouse and Sculptures." It was my pleasure! Frank Lloyd Wright's first trip to the Phoenix area was in January 1927, for the purpose of working on the Arizona Biltmore. In 1928, they were back in the Phoenix area. The set up a temporary camp they named "'Ocotillo,"' built on the site near the project San Marcos-in-the-Desert. When the stock market crashed, Ocotillo was abandoned, but not the warm winters of Arizona. They purchased land Northwest of Phoenix in 1937 and began building Taliesin West, the winter home of Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship. At the time, like the Arizona Biltmore, they were in the middle of the "wilderness," surrounded only by open and vast vegetation desert rocks and wilderness as far as the eye could see. Today, Taliesin West is bordered on three sides by development and the fourth by the McDowell Mountains. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner on April 16, 2014.
