Frank Lloyd WRIGHT / Sovereignty of the Individual in the Cause Signed 1st 1951

The Sovereignty of the Individual in the Cause of Architecture. Author: WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd Title: The Sovereignty of the Individual in the Cause of Architecture Publication: Florence, Italy: 1951 Edition: First Separate edition. A very good or better copy in the publsiher’s printed wraps, gently rubbed and dust-soiled, but clean, with a short stress tear on the last leaf. This copy with a wonderful association, SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Wright on the front wrap to one of his most notable disciples, Edgar Tafel: To Edgar — N. Tafel had been an apprentice at Taliesin for nine years, form 1932 to 1941, and thus worked under Wright during the development of some of Wright’s most important contributions, including Fallingwater and the Johnson Wax Headquarters. A rift developed between Tafel and Wright when the former left Taliesin rather abruptly to set out on his own in 1941, but the two remained in contact, as evidenced by this brief, but familiar inscription on this important manifesto.

As I continue to sift through my Frank Lloyd Wright material, I came upon the final box of plan set files. This huge batch of material is the second part of this collection. It consists of 147 individual files of 8.5″ x 11″ photocopies (xerox). Each individual file varies in size from a sheet or two like the perforated board detail for the Richardson residence to as many as 240 sheets for the Price Tower. As with most FLW plan sets, eight or nine sheets is typical. Site plan, foundation, floor plans, elevations, sections, framing, millwork and related details. In a number of cases, the plans are more involved and have more sheets. These files cover many unbuilt projects, preliminary drawings as well as built structures. In addition and to be included is the Taliesin inventory of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings and projects from 1899 through 1959 compiled by the FLW Foundation in 1970. This file contains 46 page. Also the Hanna House document file containing 69 pages. Because of the nature of this collection, I can’t show every file but I have provided two examples as a reference. The Kenneth Hargrove project (photos 1,2,3) and the Richard Small project (photos: 4,5,6) I have included the inventory of this collection. See photos 7,8 and 9. I’m happy to provide a copy of this list to a potential purchaser as the photos might not read all that well. This collection is quite diverse with many unbuilt and little known projects. Additionally, there are well known and lesser known built works by FLW. The collection is the second part of this collection. This material was compiled over a period of about fifteen years A tremendous amount of time, effort and expense went into accumulating this material. This extensive collection provides a wonderful insight into Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture. The collection and the vast amount of information within is significant and should be kept together.
