Description



About the Book



Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings on the West Coast have not been thoroughly covered in print until now. Between 1909 and 1959, Wright designed a total of 38 structures up and down the West Coast, from Seattle to Southern California. These include well-known structures such as the Marin County Civic Center and Hollyhock House in Los Angeles, and many lesser-known gems such as the 1909 Stewart House near Santa Barbara.



Book Synopsis



Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings on the West Coast have not been thoroughly covered in print until now. Between 1909 and 1959, Wright designed a total of 38 structures up and down the West Coast, from Seattle to Southern California. These include well-known structures such as the Marin County Civic Center and Hollyhock House in Los Angeles, and many lesser-known gems such as the 1909 Stewart House near Santa Barbara.

With more than 200 photographs by veteran architectural photographer Joel Puliatti and 50 archival images (many of which have never been seen in print before), this comprehensive survey of Wright's West Coast legacy features background information on the clients' relationships with Wright, including insights gleaned from correspondence with the original owners and interviews with many of the current owners.



From the Back Cover



"This authoritative survey of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture on the West Coast is a major contribution to the work of America's greatest architect. Mark Wilson's meticulous text, together with Joel Puliatti's superb photographs, make the buildings come alive." --Peter Selz, professor emeritus of modern art, University of California, Berkeley

"This first new book since 1999 to discuss Frank Lloyd Wright's West Coast work includes interesting stories about the original clients updated with engaging commentary by present owners. The photographs are worthy of careful study." --Larry A. Woodin, former president, Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy

"Was [Wright's] healthy ego justified in his work? A thousand times over. What does it matter when it is the work that lives on?" --T. C. Boyle, author of The Women and owner of the Stewart House (Chapter 1)
