Frank Lloyd Wright

Originally published as Ausgefuhrte Bauten in Germany in 1911, Frank Lloyd Wright: Early Visions reproduces the first book of photographs of Wright's architecture. Here are the works of what is called his Oak Park period, the years between 1893 and 1910 when Wright lived and worked in Oak Park, Illinois. Included are more than thirty houses, as well as some public buildings. Early Visions covers the idealistic, formative years of Frank Lloyd Wright's career. In many ways, they were the most important years. A number of the buildings reproduced have been demolished, but many others still stand. Indeed, today under the auspices of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Oak Park celebrates the Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie School of Architecture in a National Historic District, with twenty-five structures by Wright. It is the largest collection of his built designs in the world. His home and studio at 951 Chicago Avenue, where he lived and worked from 1889 to 1909, is open to the public, and tours of his other buildings may be arranged. In this new edition of the first book of Wright's architectural photographs, the spirit of these and other early works by the greatest of American architects remains bold and vital.
