Author: Ashbery, John
Description: "Wright They Are. "Even his clients" clothing and the landscape outside their windows were taken by Wright as part of the overall experience..." Frank Lloyd Wright was not only the greatest architect America has yet produced, he was one of our greatest creators in any of the arts. Furthermore, he was, with Whitman, Jackson Pollock, and a few others, an American genius who could only have been an American. For this reason we prize him.
But architecture, unlike poetry and painting, is a particularly fragile, vulnerable, and ephemeral art form. The greater the architect, the stronger the repressive forces that mean to see to it that his work lasts no longer than generation at most. And Wright's work seems to have had a fatal magnetic attraction for the wrecker's ball..." Includes one photograph of a Wright window. Original cover price $1.00.

Description: "Profiles. The Prodical Father. In Europe and the far east, there has been for sometime passed a disposition to refer to Frank Lloyd Wright as the Father of Modern Architecture, and of late this salutation has been caught up and echoed in this, his native land. In my waggish way, I might observe in passing that this would lend credence to a dark suspicion that modern architecture was born out of wedlock. But it is rather the business of this brief monograph to record the news that Father himself has recently been manifesting a renewal of interest in this child deposited on his doorstep, and has even been giving evidence of a disposition to go back to the work and look after it.
...Indeed, if the editor of this journal were so to ration me that I were suffered to apply the word "genius" to only one living American, I would have to save it up for Frank Lloyd Wright." Includes one illustration by Marsh. Original cover price 15c. (Sweeney 242)

We consulted our program in search of something more comprehensible and lit on a students" symposium, in the Empire Room, at which the chief speaker was to be Frank Lloyd Wright... A mirrored double door at the back of the room opened, several flashlight cameras flashed, and Mr. Wright, a fantastically distinguished figure at eighty-three... "Boys," said Mr. Wright, ignoring the large sprinkling, "how do you do? I am going to talk to my heirs here this morning, believe it or not, like it or not..." (Sweeney 879)

Description: Sixty Years of Living Architecture Exhibit. "The Sky Line. A Phoenix Too Infrequent. New York is finally, to its past discredit and its present honor, harboring its first building by Frank Lloyd Wright, the last and greatest of the trio of master builders that began with Henry Hobson Richardson and Louis Henri Sullivan. This building, a little red prairie dwelling, has but momentarily alighted, like a bird of passage, on the edge of central park at Eighty-ninth Street and Fifth Avenue, for a few days after these words appear its walls will begin to crumble under the wrecking bar, to make room for the new Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, which Wright has designed for this block-long site. Next to the house, in an equally evanescent shed, New Yorkers have had an opportunity to look at a comprehensive exhibition - models, photographs, and drawings - of Wrigh's work, spanning the 60 years between the Winslow residence, in Chicago, the first building he did after he left Sullivan's employ and was completely on his own, and his output of the present year..."

Description: "Lunch hour. At noon one day last week, we were strolling past the new Guggenheim Museum, a spiraling concrete pile conceived by Frank Lloyd Wright that is being erected on upper fifth Avenue, when we came upon a group of workmen taking their lunch time ease on a curbstone outside the growing edifice. Reflecting that these carpenters, cement mixers, and pipe fitters were of the stuff of the builders who sent the pyramids soaring above the infinities of the desert, we shopped between a pair of them who were gnawing on hero sandwiches, sat down on the curbstone, and grilled them about the work in progress. We ask about the general feeling toward Mr. Wright's extraordinary creation, one of our companions stopped chomping on his hero and peered thoughtfully across fifth Avenue... We asked our seller acquaintance whether all of his colleagues knew about Wright. "They talk about him almost as much as I do about women," he said. "How many buildings do you think I've been on without ever knowing who the hell the architect was? Hundreds, I'll bet. But this joker has the knack of attracting attention." Original cover price 25c.

Description: "Notes and Comments." (On Wrigh's death.) "Frank Lloyd Wright was an old friend of ours, and we shall miss him very much. We doubt whether he had any intention of dying so soon, and we were certainly unprepared for the news of his death. He was one of those people (Bertrand Russell and Picasso are among them) who seem able to outwit the humiliations and diminutions of age, and able, therefore, to out wit its supreme consequence... For the last decade or so, Wright maintain an office here, in a couple of rooms at the Plaza -- one of the few buildings that he wouldn't have pulled down if he'd had his way about the leveling of this, to him, repellent city... For one thing, Wright really was a genius; the work was there to be marveled at and enriched by. For another, even at his most outrageous, his uncannily handsome face would be twisting with merriment, his bright eyes would be measuring the degree of your irritation and mischievously calculating ways to heighten it. He was having a good time and he hoped you were having a good time, too." Also translated and published in Bauen und Wohnen, June 1959 (S#1315). Original cover price 25c. (Sweeney 1343)

Description: "The Sky Line. What Wright Hath Wrought. There are many ways of approaching the new Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and perhaps the best is the roundabout route that has been opened up by the timely appearance of "Frank Lloyd Wrigh's Drawing for a Living Architecture". ...What is unusual about Wright is that the sketches and the finished presentation drawings of his buildings are works of art in their own right... Wrigh's creative intentions at their purest. ...By the same token, when Wright failed, he failed with originality and decision - the inverted triumph of a great acrobat who so despises the safety net that he would rather break his neck than rely on them... From the moment I examined the preliminary drawings (Guggenheim) I was disturbed and puzzled by its design... I can think of only one way of fully redeeming Wrigh's monumental and ultimately mischievous failure - that of turning the building into a museum of architecture... Could it be that it was this, and not abstract painting, that Wright had in mind, at least unconsciously, all the time?" Original cover price 25 cents. (Sweeney 1339)

This one, which the author calls "an interpretative biography," is a commendable effort, but is seems a little thin. It is long enough (over three hundred pages), and the author has fully covered the signal events of Wrigh's ninety-one-year life span, but Wright, one of the great and exasperating personalities of our time, remains elusive..."

Description: Art Critic Jerry Saltz's Memories of His Frank Lloyd Wright Past. I grew up in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, where I hated everybody and everything. I couldn't wait to leave. But Oak Park always struck me as my own "princedom by the sea." The reason: its architecture. I'd pass as many as twenty Frank Lloyd Wright homes on my way to school - scores of Prairie School buildings, breathtaking moments of America's architectural coming-of-age. I once knew someone who lived in one of those homes. A certain Linda. Imagining this house now, I turn into Humbert Humbert catching glimpses of Lolita's "lovely indrawn abdomen? I see the houses natural woods, stone surfaces, and graceful symmetries. I'm back there, on that long, beautiful built-in ledge in her dimly lit, low ceilinged, hazel-painted living room, sitting on golden-yellow Japanese cushions, with cinnamon-color pillows, finally being allowed to kiss wispy Linda, thinking, This is the best place that I have ever been. Everything seemed possible. Until her parents came home... Includes four photographs: Arthur B Heurtley House, Frank W. Thomas House, Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, William H. Winslow House.

Description: “At The Museum. At any given time, the Guggenheim may host Kandinskys, Picassos, Pollocks, Mondrians, or af Klints, but the first thing that any visitor who isn't too boring to admit it thinks about is the ramp, and how much fun it would be to roll down. Frank Lloyd Wright imagined the museum's six-story helix as "a curving wave that never breaks." The building opened in 1959, the same year that the Roller Derby Skate Board debuted. And yet, for the next six decades, perhaps owing to a sense of decorum, or to a competent security crew, no one skated down the ramp,
"A ramp like that – it's breathtaking, the professional skateboarder Alexis Sablone said the other evening. She was standing on the museum's ground floor, a board at her hip. Converse, one of Sablone's sponsors, had persuaded the Guggenheim to allow the company to shoot a film, promoting Sablone's signature shoe, using the ramp. The talks took nearly a year; Sablone was kept in the dark. "They surprised me," she said. "I thought they were going to walk me into Times Square and unveil a billboard." She looked around, dropped her board, and popped an awkward ollie...”

When the great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright died three years ago, at 89, he left behind hundreds of beautiful drawings of great buildings. But the drawings are valuable for more than their beauty: they sometimes tell us more about Wrigh's thought than is apparent in his finished building. Romantic, fanciful, original, daring, occasionally fantastic, they reflect his creative concepts in their purest form... They are part of an exhibition of 275 of his drawings, surveying his work from 1895 to 1959, which will open on Wednesday at he Museum of Modern Art." Includes six illustrations. (Sweeney 1508)

Description: Excerpts: "Oak Park, Ill. - The moment a workman comes in here, he takes one look around and says, "Oh, this house is one of his, isn't it?" Then he groans and lets you know how much more work i's going to mean for him," said Jeannette Fields, sitting in the living room of her 77-year-old house. Mrs. Fields did not have to say who "he" is - her house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, who lived in Oak park from 1889 until 1909. In that period and the years just following, Wright designed or altered almost 30 houses here and in neighboring River Forest, where the Field's house was built originally for Arthur Davenport in 1901... Several Wright houses have sold recently for about $170,000, about 20 to 25 percent more than other homes in the neighborhood... Just a couple of doors down Forest Avenue, (from Wrigh's Home & Studio) is one of Wrigh's best coherent wholes - the Heurtley House at No. 318, a noble, self-assured mass of reddish brick built for a Chicago banker in 1902. The Heurtley House is now owned by Jack Prost, a biology professor who purchased the house in 1973, three years after moving to Oak Park in the hope of setting in a Wright House. It is one of Wrigh's finest prairie houses, as many of his early works were called. It gathers its many rooms under a vast, sprawling hipped roof, with rows of windows, in neat horizontal strips, tucked up near the top and a grand arched entrance." Two Copies.

Frank Lloyd Wright can be celebrated as a great maker of flowing space, or as a bold experimenter in new building technologies, or as a crusader who sought to bring the values of architecture within reach of the common man. Wright, the protean genius of 20th-century architecture, was all of those people. Even more, though, he was an architect who sought out the underlying nature of a place and who struggled to express that nature in a way that would be altogether his own..."

If you drive through it quickly you see an average Midwestern small town: solid, leafy trees; broad, straight trees lined with banks and shops; lots of churches, and block after block of good old American houses of every architectural style. But Oak Park is not just any suburb, and it does not take long to discover what makes it different. This town about 10 miles west of Chicago's loop, is where Frank Lloyd Wright lived and practice for the first 20 years of his professional life (1889 to 1909). Scattered among its clapboard and colonial homes, and those of neighboring River Forest, are more than 30 houses designed or renovated by Wright, and numerous others designed by his followers - the architects who collectively came to be known as the Prairie School..."

He showcased both talents in a house that he designed in 1952 for Luis Marden, a legendary National Geographic photographer and writer, and his wife, Ethel Cox Marden, a mathematician and champion sea diver who shared her husband"s love of adventure (in their 60s, the couple sail together across the Atlantic)..."

Description: Frank Wright Guarded After Kidnap Threat. Money Demanded from Famed Architect Who Spoke Here Monday
Madison, Wis., Nov. 15 (AP) - When Frank Lloyd Wright, famous architect. returns from the East this weekend to Taliesin, his beautiful home near Spring Green, Wis., he will be accompanied by a bodyguard to protect him against a threatened kidnaping, friends here said today.
The news that Wright had received a letter from an extortionist Nov. 5 demanding money under the threat of abduction for ransom leaked out today. Madison police sought the author of the letter, postmarked from this city, Nov. 4.
Considerable secrecy surrounded this latest episode in the colorful career of the noted architect. Inquiry at Taliesin, near where Wright recently founded a unique school embracing all the arts, revealed that he had been in New York for several days. A group of students at the Wright School, it was reported, has maintained an armed guard at Taliesin daily.
The exact contents of the threatening letter were not made public. It was signed "Committee of Vigilantes." Whoever wrote the letter, friends of the architect said, was familiar with Wright's life, for it contained slurring references to episodes in his career.
The incident focused public attention on Wright for the second time in two weeks. He recently was engaged in a fist fight on a street in Madison with C. R. Secrest. In the melee the architect's nose was broken. The following day five students of the Wright School gave Secrest a horsewhipping.
Wright spoke in Rochester Monday night at the Little Theater of Memorial Art Gallery.
