Exhibition - Frank Lloyd Wright: Organic Architecture for the 21st Century

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright’s winter home, studio and architectural campus in Scottsdale, Ariz., Phoenix Art Museum presents a major exhibition that offers a fresh perspective on the celebrated architect’s seven-decade career.  Frank Lloyd Wright: Organic Architecture for the 21st Century is the first exhibition to explore Wright and his relevance today through a survey of more than 40 projects, including his vision for the decentralized city, presented through rarely seen drawings, scale models, furniture, films and photographs.

Regarded by many as the greatest American architect of the 20th century, Frank Lloyd Wright was a champion of organic architecture.  His visionary designs emphasized use of natural materials, harmonious integration of building and landscape and high functionality.  Many concepts developed in Wright’s revolutionary work are central to today’s sustainable, green architecture movement.

Wright’s concerns with materials, efficient use of space, sustainable manufacturing, attention to local environment and use of natural light mirror those of contemporary architects worldwide, commented James Ballinger, The Sybil Harrington Director, Phoenix Art Museum.  This exhibition provides an exciting forum for which Wright’s work can be re-examined and applied to concerns of the day.  The Museum is privileged to have the opportunity to partner with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and the Milwaukee Art Museum to bring this exhibition to the people of Arizona.
