The Fellowship: The Untold Story of Frank Lloyd Wright & The Talieson Fellowship
Price $18.95
By: Roger Friedland and Harold Zellman Frank Lloyd Wright was renowned during his life not only as an architectural genius but also as a subject of controversy—from his radical design innovations to his turbulent private life, including a notorious mass murder that occurred at his Wisconsin estate, Taliesin, in 1914. But the estate also gave rise to one of the most fascinating and provocative experiments in American cultural history: the Taliesin Fellowship, an extraordinary architectural colony where Wright trained hundreds of devoted apprentices and where all of his late masterpieces—Fallingwater, Johnson Wax, the Guggenheim Museum—were born.

Death In A Prairie House: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Murders
Price $16.95
By: William R. Drennan The most pivotal and yet least understood event of Frank Lloyd Wright’s celebrated life involves the brutal murders in 1914 of seven adults and children dear to the architect and the destruction by fire of Taliesin, his landmark residence, near Spring Green, Wisconsin. Unaccountably, the details of that shocking crime have been largely ignored by Wright’s legion of biographers—a historical and cultural gap that is finally addressed in William Drennan’s exhaustively researched Death in a Prairie House: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Murders. Soft or hardcover available.

Houses by Frank Lloyd Wright, a Book of Postcards

He constantly experimented to find the most effective designs for living, stressing natural materials and colors, open rooms, built-in furniture, geometric patterns, and careful siting. Each home was a coordinated composition inside and out, an expression of what he termed "organic architecture."

Frank Lloyd Wright: Masterworks, A Book of Postcards
Price $9.95
If contradictions make for interesting people, Frank Lloyd Wright was surely one of this century’s most fascinating Americans. Wright the modernist was also Wright the romantic, iconoclast, and champion of the individual, and the products of his contradictory sensibility offer a sassy repudiation of his European contemporaries’ chilly, Everyman modernism. His genius for architecture synthesis revolutionized his field; a hundred years after his earliest solo commissions, Wright’s designs have become so entwined in the vocabulary of American architecture that we take his radical innovations for granted.
