Frank Lloyd Wright by John Amarantides, 1955. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives.
The Museum of Modern Art, Columbia University and The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation have announced that the vast archives of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) have been jointly acquired by the University and the Museum and will become part of their permanent collections. The archive, which includes some 23,000 architectural drawings, 44,000 historical photographs, large-scale models, manuscripts, extensive correspondence and other documents, has remained in storage at Wright’s former headquarters — Taliesin (Spring Green, WI) and Taliesin West (Scottsdale, AZ) — since his death. Moving the archives to New York will maximise the visibility and research value of the collection for generations of scholars, students and the public — via Frank Lloyd Wright Archives relocate to New York | ArchDaily
