Of Buffalo, New York. The Larkin Building was one of two projects Wright designed that year for the famous designer, Darwin D. (Quote from: pbs site). Through Martin, Wright got the job of designing the Larkin Company administration building, the first entirely air-conditioned modern office building on record… It is blocklike and extremely simple in its forms, and has very little ornamentation… The Larkin building was decisively vertical… Indeed, it was the first consciously architectural expression of the kind of American structure which Europeans were beginning to discover to their delight: the great clusters of grain silos and similar industrial monuments that men like Corbu and Gropius found so exciting in the early 1920s… (Excerpts from: Peter Blake, Frank Lloyd Wright: Architecture and Space). Lloyd once said years later of the design, I think I first consciously began to try to beat the box in the Larkin building. I found a natural opening to the liberation I sought when [after a great struggle] I finally pushed the staircase towers out from the corners of the main building, made them into freestanding, individual features. It is interesting that I, an architect supposed to be concerned with the aesthetic sense of the building, should have invented the hung wall for the w. (easier to clean under), and adopted many other innovations like the glass door, steel furniture, air-conditioning and radiant or’gravity heat. Nearly every technological innovation used today was suggested in the Larkin Building in 1904. The Larkin building was an icon of modern architecture with its cutting-edge technology, and unfortunately in 1950, the Building was demolished and is considered a tragic loss for American architecture. The image area with the line drawing of the building is actually printed with a nice silver metallic ink (but does not show up correctly in the photo). The Litho is printed with a full-bleed on all sides and is on a nice smooth medium-weight ivory-colored wove paper stock. Size & Condition: The sheet size is 23-1/4″ x 18″, Image size is 17″ x 16-13/16″ and is in Excellent+ Rare+ condition with absolutely no color fade and is OOP (Out-Of-Print) with the Burchfield-Penney Art Center Museum.
