About this title

Synopsis

Book by

From Library Journal

This book is published on the occasion of the Museum of Modern Art's exhibition of the same name. Coming more than 50 years after the museum's first Wright retrospective, both book and exhibit offer a fresh, comprehensive view of the architect's work. The transfer of the exhibit to book form is only partially successful, however. The book comprises photographs-many in color-of buildings and models, plans and sketches, and newly restored drawings by Wright. These are divided into nine thematic sections, but the themes and sections are not easily deciphered. The sections are neither titled nor listed in the table of contents, making it difficult to locate each individual introduction. Moreover, there are no running titles, so one's only orientation is chronological. And while the plates are truly stunning, the text explaining them is woefully deficient, often leaving the reader puzzled. While the text seems redeemed by the first five essays, comprehensive collections will be better served by William Allin Storrer's The Frank Lloyd Wright Companion (LJ 2/1/94).
