Frank Lloyd Wright Signed Taliesin Note 1954 Viking Press ALS Autograph Rare

Offered is an original typed note on Taliesin stationery, personally signed by Frank Lloyd Wright in blue ink and dated June 27, 1954. Addressed to The Viking Press in New York, Wright humorously responds to a proposed publication or classification, writing. What you propose is good fun. I don’t want to be famous for my’old age. The note captures Wright’s characteristic wit and self-awareness during the final years of his remarkable career. Documents reflecting his thoughts on aging, fame, and publishing are highly collectible, particularly when they bear his unmistakable handwritten signature on official Taliesin letterhead. Condition is very good overall with expected fold lines from original mailing/storage, light age toning, and minor edge wear. There are period pencil notations on the front (including a June 29, 1954 stamp and collector’s notes), all shown in the photographs. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description. A wonderful addition for collectors of Frank Lloyd Wright, architecture, Taliesin, modern design, signed manuscripts, and 20th-century Americana. From the Scottsdale, Arizona estate of a prominent Frank Lloyd Wright collector and former Taliesin student.

Frank Lloyd Wright Signed Taliesin Note to Architect Kenneth Day 1940 Rare

Offered is an original Taliesin Spring Green, Wisconsin typed note dated August 19, 1940, personally signed by Frank Lloyd Wright in black ink. The note is addressed to. Day was an accomplished Philadelphia architect, housing planner, and educator. The son of prominent architect Frank Miles Day, Kenneth established his own architectural practice and later taught architecture at Yale University, making this correspondence one between two significant American architects. My dear Day: Intend staying only for the office I perform but thank you sincerely for your kind invitation. The message reflects a cordial professional friendship, with Wright politely declining Day’s invitation while expressing his appreciation. Signed correspondence exchanged directly between Frank Lloyd Wright and fellow architects is considerably scarcer than routine business letters and offers a fascinating glimpse into Wright’s professional network during the early 1940s. The signature is a bold example of Wright’s characteristic autograph and appears on original Taliesin stationery from Spring Green, Wisconsin, predating the establishment of Taliesin West as his primary winter residence. Condition: Good vintage condition with expected mailing folds, light age toning, and scattered brown spotting near the lower portion of the sheet as shown in the photographs. The spotting does not affect the text or signature. Please review all photos carefully, as they are an important part of the description. A wonderful opportunity to acquire an original signed Frank Lloyd Wright document connected to another important American architect and dating to the height of Wright’s career. From the Scottsdale, Arizona estate of a prominent Frank Lloyd Wright collector and Taliesin student.

Frank Lloyd Wright Signed Taliesin West Note Mile High Illinois 1956 Rare

Offered is an original typed note on Taliesin West stationery, personally signed by Frank Lloyd Wright in black ink and dated December 31, 1956. The note is addressed to Leighton Rollins, noted theater producer, educator, and Santa Barbara arts leader who was active with The Experiment in International Living. Rollins was a well-known figure in California’s cultural community and maintained friendships with many leading artists, architects, and intellectuals of the period. The message reads in part. Dear Leighton: Easier on me to go to hotel. Wright then adds an especially significant postscript. Will send drawing of the Mile High to the Museum. This reference is particularly noteworthy, as it almost certainly concerns Wright’s legendary Mile High Illinois skyscraper proposal, one of the most ambitious architectural concepts of the twentieth century. Introduced in 1956, the design has become one of the architect’s most recognizable unbuilt projects. A signed note directly referencing the Mile High project is an outstanding piece of Frank Lloyd Wright history. The note is signed beneath the typed name on official Taliesin West stationery, dating from the final years of Wright’s extraordinary career. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and accurately represent the condition of the piece. An exceptional opportunity for collectors of Frank Lloyd Wright, Taliesin West, architectural manuscripts, signed correspondence, and twentieth-century modern design-especially examples connected to the iconic Mile High Illinois project. From the Scottsdale, Arizona estate of a prominent Frank Lloyd Wright collector and Taliesin student.
