A Preview of the exhibition was held in Philadelphia at Gimbel Brothers Gallery in January, 1951. The world wide tour opened in Palazzo Strozzi Florence, Italy (June 1951). In "Sixty Years" (New York), Wright notes that from Florence the Exhibition traveled to "Switzerland, France, German and Holland". 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 (1954) Wright indicates (LA) that the Exhibition was headed to the Orient. Manila, Tokyo and New Delhi in 1955. Note: We found no evidence that the Orient exhibitions took place. In "Frank Lloyd Wright, His Life, His Work, His Words" pp. 219-220, Mrs. Wright indicates that after the Exhibition in LA, "...it returned to Taliesin". Also of interest is the booklet that was published for the Exhibition held in Chicago. Included in the title of the booklet is "Series Nine Chicago". When you count the number of exhibitions, eliminating the Orient, Chicago is number nine. 1) Florence  2) Switzerland  3) France  4) German  5) Holland  6) Mexico City  7) New York  8) Los Angeles  9) Chicago. The exhibition catalog is dated October 16, 17, 18, 1956. Mayor Daley proclaimed October 17, Frank Lloyd Wright Day.       The exhibition in New York (1953) took place on the grounds that would eventually become the Guggenheim Museum.   The complex that was constructed for the Exhibition consisted of two structures. The New York Usonian Exhibition House (S.369) and the Pavilion (S.370), both seen on the cover of the catalog below. "Sixty Years of Living Architecture: The Work of Frank Lloyd Wright".       The New York House and Pavilion were constructed at the same time. According to the October issue of Art News, the exhibition was held from October 9 - November 15, 1953, but a more accurate ending date was November 29, 1953. Two booklets were produced. One for the House (below) and one for the Exhibition. The exhibition included a fully furnished 1,700 sq. ft. ''Usonian House''. Wright used the same design for the dining chair in other homes including Trier Residence (S.398). On occasion, furniture from the exhibition are offered at auction houses.       After the exhibition in New York, the house was auctioned off. The buyer contracted polio and was unable to reconstruct the home. In 1984, after sitting in storage for 30 years, it was put up for auction again. Tom Monaghan won the bid at $117,000. Plans were made to reconstruct the home, but time had taken its toll. Parts were eventually auctioned off again in 1992.       After the New York Exhibition, the first home to be built, based on the floor plan of the Usonian Exhibition House (S.369) was the Feiman Residence (S.371). The second home was the Trier Residence (S.398). Wright's initial drawing of the home shows that he conceived the Trier Residence as a Usoniam Automatic, constructed of 12 x 24" concrete blocks. The working drawings specify the home to be constructed of brick.  October 2010.       Preview    1) Florence    2) Zurich    3) Paris    4) Munich    5) Rotterdam    6) Mexico City    7) New York    8) Los Angeles    9) Chicago    Frank Lloyd Wright Day        Preview, Philadelphia (January 1951)     Date: 1951 Title: A Taliesin Square-Paper No, 15.

The world wide tour opened in Palazzo Strozzi Florence, Italy (June 1951).        Frank Lloyd. Wright: Oskar, what is that you wish me to clarify on the idea of Broadacre City?        Oskar Stonorov: Mr. Wright, after wandering through this exhibition of earlier buildings of yours, people have now reached this model of the landscape of a modern city you call Broadacre City: an example of free planning for Usonians. Samuel Butler suggested the  name "Usonia" for our country, the United States. You have adopted the name. Just what is the meaning of this great model? For one thing, people will want to know why you put skyscrapers next to cottages on acre lots, Mr. Wright.        Frank Lloyd Wright: To begin with, this model of Broadacre City is an attack upon the cultural lag of our society. The model you see before you attempts to show how a more humane use of the power gained by use of our vast Machine leverage could be used to free the citizen from urbanism and war. That could be accomplished by way of the citizen's own Architecture. Were the Machine put in place, today, its place would be the hand of the creative Architect. Or, let us better say, Architecture creative. Democracy can arrive no other way! We might realize (seeing this model) that the right buildings for the right people in the right places would naturally be harmonious. Each building, though differing totally, could easily-because naturally—be complementary to the other. That is really what you are seeing here...        Note: In twenty years of searching, we were unable to locate a copy of this booklet until now.

Description: Set of seven contact sheets, 84 images documenting the construction of the Usonian Exhibition House and Pavilion. Photographed by Pedro Guerrero. Construction was overseen by David Henken. Guerrero wrote: "My greatest involvement with Mr. Wright at this time was during the construction of the Usonian model house and the pavilion for his Sixty Years of Living Architecture Exhibition... This show, installed on the Guggenheim site... David Hanken, himself a former apprentice, had contracted to build the exhibit structure. We had been good friends since 1948. Through him and Mr. Wright, who was on hand nearly every day, I had entree to the site to photograph the project from start to finish..." Picturing Wright, Guerrero, 1994, p.137. July 24, 1953: "The Guggenheim Foundation decides to host Sixty Years of Living Architecture, the exhibition of Wright's work that has been touring the world. The show will be housed in a temporary pavilion designed by Wright on the site of the future museum. Though the architect is preoccupied with his appearance before the board of standards and appeals in just a few days, Harry Guggenheim is anxious for Sixty Years to be mounted."

A pamphlet describing the Usonian House that was built on the grounds of the Future Guggenheim Museum as part of the exhibition: Sixty Years of Living Architecture. "To say the original of this Usonian house, planted by myself on the good earth of the Chicago prairie as early as 1900 or earlier, was the first truly democratic expression in Architecture of our Democracy would start a controversy with professional addicts who believe Architecture has no political (therefore no social) significance. So, let's say that the Spirit of Democracy - freedom of the common man to grow to be an individual - took hold of the house as it then was, took off the attic and the porch, pulled out the basement, and made a single spacious, harmonious unit of living room, dining room and kitchen, with appropriate entry conveniences...

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Usonian Exhibition House exhibited in "Sixty Years of Living Architecture: The Work of Frank Lloyd Wright", at The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum exhibition grounds, New York, 22 October - 29 November 1953. For the retrospective of Frank Lloyd Wright's work in 1953, Wright built a fully furnished ''Usonian House'' and pavilion in the museum gardens. The house was described in a New York Times article as a ''fusion of architecture and furnishings, the blending of indoors and out.'' These two chairs were designed and built specifically for the exhibition house. Wright later used the same model for the Trier Residence, Iowa, 1956. Oak plywood, 37 inches high. Manufactured by Plycraft Products. (Sotheby's description. Sale date December 2003. Sold for $24,000 each plus buyer's premium.)     Usonian Library Table and Chair, Circa 1953. Christie's, London, April 2008. The table of was pitch pine, the chair of mahogany laminate. Table 27 in. high; 72 in. wide; 30 in. deep. Chair 37¼ in. high; 18½ in. wide; 19½ in. deep. Notes: Examples of the chair design were first exhibited at the Usonian Pavilion of the "Sixty Years of Living Architecture exhibition", New York, 1953. The model was subsequently incorporated in other interiors including the Paul Trier house, Des Moines, Iowa, 1956. (Christie's description. The set sold for $23,311 plus buyer's premium.)     New York Usonian Exhibition House and Pavilion opening reception photographs, October 22,1953. Photographed by Pedro Guerrero. Built on the site for the Guggenheim Museum. Contact sheet 8 x 10, twelve images each 2.25 x 2.25. See twelve images.     The 1953 New York Usonian Exhibition House (S.369) and The 1956 Trier Residence (S.398). The Trier Residence is based on the Usonian Exhibition House (S.369) that was built in 1953 on the site for The Guggenheim Museum. The Trier Residence was the second home to utilize this floor plan. The first being the Feiman Residence (S.371). Wright's initial drawing of the home shows that he conceived the Trier Residence as a Usoniam Automatic, constructed of 12 x 24" concrete blocks. The working drawings specify the home to be constructed of brick. The Triers elected to use brick, and then substituted brick tile, to save construction costs. The 4 x 12" size remained consistent with Wright's original dimensions. The Trier's original floor plan created approximately 1740 square feet of living space, not including the Work Shop. The Living Room occupied thirty percent of the living space...     Sixty Years of Living Architecture (New York).

S#: 1147.75.0117     Cary Caraway was president of the Frank Lloyd Wright Day. Jesse Claude (Cary) and Frances Caraway, were both Taliesin apprentices in the 1930/40s. Cary was an apprentice from 1935-1942. In 1954 the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Wright owed $10,000 in back taxes on Taliesin. For years he had argued that Taliesin was primarily a school and therefore tax exempt. He was so mad he threatened to destroy Taliesin and move from the state. Cary Caraway, suggested that Wright's friends express their appreciation and take up a collection. Mary Lescohier and Helen Groves made it happen. On February 10, 1955, 380 supporters gathered in the Great Hall of the U.W. Memorial Union for a tribute, the Monona Terrace Testimonial Banquet. Wright took the opportunity to display the new Monona Terrace model. At the end of the program, he received a check for $10.000.
