WENDINGEN
Wendingen, a Dutch art magazine, was published monthly between 1918 and 1931. Many of the 116 issues were edited and designed by Hendrik Theodorus Wijdeveld, a Dutch architect and designer. It was published for architects and interior designers by Amsterdam publisher Hooge Brug and was a mouthpiece for the architect association "Architectura et Amicitia", an Amsterdam-based society, which developed into the major representative of the Amsterdam School. H. Th. Wijdeveld was the chief editor.
Eight issues were devoted to Frank Lloyd Wright's work. The first was Volume IV, Number 11, 1921. The cover, designed by El Lissitzky, is considered to be one of his greatest compositions.
In 1925, a series of seven issues were published on thework of Wright, Volume VII, Numbers 3 - 9.
That year all seven issues were combined into a bound volume entitled "The Life Work of the American Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright", 1925, published by C.A. Mees Santpoort, Holland. In 1947 A. Kroch ordered 500 copies of the remaining unbound stock and published the volume in 1948.
In 1965, Horizon Press republished a boxed version entitled "The Work of Frank Lloyd Wright, The Great Wendingen Edition"

Description: "The New Time. Some thoughts on the Work of Frank Lloyd Wright. In de laatste jaren pas is het den kunstenaars bewust geworden, dat een waarlijk moderne kunst niet steunt op vormen, die in 't wilde weg gegrepen zijn, maar haar oorsprong slechts vindt en een vasten ondergrond heeft in datgene, wat men den tijdgeest noemt. Het is het bewustzijn, dat moest komen na de vele decepties, die elke willekeurige,persoonlijke uiting weer meebracht, persoonlijk dan opgevat in den zin van het enge, het bekrompene..." (Rough translation: "In recent years, the artists has become aware that a truly modern art is not based on forms, which are seized in random, but its origin only and has a fast surface in what one calls the Zeitgeist. It is the consciousness that was to come after the many deceptions that any personal expression brought back, then personally understood in the sense of the scary, the straitened..." Includes two images. An illustration of the Coonley living room, from the Ausgeführte Bauten, 1910, and a photograph of the interior of the Dana Residence. Also included is a separate eight page Technical Section, pp 23-26 plus four pages of advertisement. Original cover price ƒ5. (franks). (Sweeney 142)

Description: English Version. “Frank Lloyd Wright.” This issue was devoted to Wright. “A period of quickly changing tendencies in art indicates a tottering principle of construction. Thus the strength of the individual who, as soon as he creates an independent form, is in the way of creating a school; which means that a strong personality obtains not only superficial followers -the admirers of the exterior revelation only-but also they who, in virtue of their talent, probe to the essence of the new form from the very start.
It is the fascination of the "new knack" which attracts, which, with one stroke stimulates change and propagates itself with inconceivable rapidity. It has the same effect as that of a stone thrown into a pond. A rapid transition of this kind is impossible where the changed view of art is of more general import, that is, when it is not the actual art - form that undergoes the change but when it is a question of a systematical change of prin-ciple; briefly, when personal originality makes room for collective universality...”

Author: Oldewarris, Hans
Description: "The Dutch magazine Wendingen was published from 1918 to 1931. Initiated by the architect Wijdeveld its first issue caused a sensation. There was nothing about its exceptional square format, its typography or binding that related to the typographic style of the day. Its pages are attached as in a Japanese block book, were stitched together with raffia. Here, for the first time, the covers of all 116 issues of Wendingen are reproduced in full colour. ...the absolute peak without a doubt came with the issues devoted to he work of Frank Lloyd Wright. The first appeared in 1921 (cover) and featured the imperial hotel in Tokyo, with an article by Berlage and the celebrated cover design by Lissitzky. This was followed four years later by a series of seven issues devoted to ‘The Life-work of Frank Lloyd Wright', which was to become one of Wright’s favourite books." The cover features number 36. The series of seven are numbers 58-64. 8.25 x 6.25. (First Edition)

From the English dust jacket: "With its first issue in January of 1918 Wendingen set a new standard in arts publishing. In its combination of rigorous thinking about the world of contemporary arts and its exquisite design and production, it surpassed all other journals of its time -- and those that followed. Under the direction of architect Hendricus Theodorus Wijdeveld, Wendingen (which translates roughly as "upheaval") sought out the newest ideas and most creative practitioners in all of the visual arts, including architecture, graphics, sculpture, ceramics, glass, and theatrical design. In its fourteen-year history, Wendingen featured the work of such diverse artists as Gustav Klimt, Josef Hoffmann, Michel de Klerk, El Lissitzky, Erich Mendelsohn, and Eileen Gray. From 1925 - 1926, it published a series of seven issues of unparalleled beauty devoted to the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. Original HC List Price $50.00. (First Edition)

Description: According to Penny Fowler, "William Norman Guthrie, pastor of St. Marks-in-the-Bouwerie, approached Wright in 1927 with the idea of building an income-producing apartment tower next to his church. Through Guthrie, Wright became acquainted with Horace Holley, the managing editor of ‘World Unity’... The monthly journal was published between October 1927 and March 1935... Wright reviewed Le Corbusier’s ‘Toward a New Architecture’ for the Sept. 1928 issue (S.215)... he offered to design a new cover for ‘World Unity’... Holley was delighted with Wright’s designs, and particularly impressed at the idea that the front and back covers could be treated as a single unit... the October (1929) cover featured Wright’s design... The back cover simply notes: ‘Cover designed by Frank Lloyd Wright’... when the April 1930 issue appeared, Wright’s design had been modified - evidently without his approval. He frostily dismissed the cover... ‘World Unity’ kept the modified cover design (absent Wright’s name) for the next three years." Excerpts from Graphic Artist 2002, p 104-109.
