The lower illustration is dwelling for Mr. The Wasmuth Portfolio, a two-volume folio of 100 lithographs of Wright’s work published in Germany in 1910-11. It was a collaborative effort between Wright and Berlin publisher Ernst Wasmuth, the Berlin publisher of expensive art books. The actual title of the monograph, translated from the German, is Studies and Executed Buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright. It was the first publication of Wright’s work to appear anywhere in the world, as he had not published any of his work in his 20 previous years of activity. The portfolio is significant as a link between Wright’s pioneering American architecture, and the first generation of modernist architects in Europe. The project was completed during the architect’s first trip to Europe in 1909, and was published the following year. The collection of Wright’s houses and commercial buildings received far more attention and praise in Europe than in the United States at that point, and some contemporary architects called it the most important book of the century. However, in 1914, a fire destroyed the building and all but about thirty portfolios were damaged or destroyed. The pile in the basement smouldered and smoked for three days after the house had burned to the ground. There are 72 lithographs on heavy laminated paper and 28 captioned tissue overlays. The giant plates, 16 by 25 inches in size, were printed in brown or gray ink on gray or eggshell paper. This item is in the category “Art\Art Prints”.
