 "Frank
Lloyd Wright's Nakoma Clubhouse & Sculptures." A
comprehensive study of Wright’s Nakoma Clubhouse and the
Nakoma and Nakomis Sculptures. In 1923, Frank Lloyd Wright
presented drawings for a clubhouse to the Nakoma Country
Club, which was adjacent to the Nakoma subdivision in
Madison, Wisconsin. Nakoma was a Chippewa word that meant “I
do as I promise.” A form of the name appeared in
Longfellow’s poem “Song of Hiawatha,” 1856. The Wisconsin
State Journal called the Wright clubhouse “the most unique
building of its kind in America.” It would take nearly 75
years for this masterpiece to come to fruition. “Frank Lloyd
Wright’s Nakoma Clubhouse and Sculptures, A Historic
Perspective” sheds light on their inception, terra-cotta,
bronze and granite sculptures, an apprentice prince,
exhibitions and finally completion. Nearly 100 images. Available mid-March,
2014. |
