Visions of Wright (Hardcover, illustrated edition)

Frank Lloyd Wright's great buildings have become part of the American landscape in the decades since his death. Veteran photographer Farrell Grehan captures their appearance today, focusing on the interaction of structures with light and space and with their natural surroundings. Forty-eight sites are covered, accompanied by brief quotations from Wright that illuminate his creative thought. Wright's three principal residences, the Oak Park, Illinois, home and studio; Taliesin; and Taliesin West, near Scottsdale, Arizona, are featured, and the book includes the Monona Terrace Civic Center in Madison, Wisconsin, which opened in 1997, some forty years after its design. Terrence Riley's introduction examines Wright's legacy with special attention to the importance of matericals in his work.
