Signed by Frank Lloyd Wright. In addition, a TASCHEN (2018) coffee table book by Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer and Peter Goessel about Frank Lloyd Wrights architectural masterpieces, published in three languages (English, German and French). The floor plans come with the necessary paperwork which ascertain provenance and authenticity. Drawing/Rendering of the Duey Wright House, Wausau, Wisconsin, circa 1957. Ink, graphite and coloured pencil on paper, 44.5 x 29.5. A superb and impressive drawing of three views of the house with the elevation scales. Slight creasing, mostly to the corners, with small edge tear. Signed by the master himself FLW July 57. Perched on a bluff top overlooking the Wisconsin River, the Duey Wright House is one of Frank Lloyd Wrights last Usonian residences. Built for Duey and Julia Wright (not related to the architect) who owned a local music store and music school, the homes unusual L-shaped footprint has been suggested to represent a quarter note in honor of the musical couple. Moreover, a repeated geometric design found throughout the home in perforated plywood panels suggests musical notation. Wright used these panels in the exterior windows and as screens between rooms. The unadorned concrete block walls combine with the wide overhanging eaves to create a low horizontal look to the home. The longest wing, which runs east to west, is principally used for bedrooms, with the carport on the east end and the library on the west end. The two wings are joined on the west end by a large concrete block chimney, which allows for a library fireplace, and another in the living room. The circular living room contains a continuous band of windows allowing for a panoramic view of the Wisconsin River to the southwest, and Rib Mountain in the distance. The Usonian House conceptualised by architect Frank Lloyd Wright is the embodiment of an idea for a simple, stylish small house of moderate cost designed especially for the American middle class. It is not so much a style as a type of residential architecture. Style is important, wrote Wright. A style is not. When looking at a portfolio of Wrights architecture the casual observer might not even pause at Wrights first Usonian house from 1937, looking so familiar and ordinary yet, Usonian architecture was another obsession of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright in the last decades of his long life. By the 1950s, he had designed dozens of what he was then calling his Usonian Automatics. Wright didnt want to be known solely as an architect of the rich and famous, although his early residential experimentation in Prairie house design had been subsidized by families of means. The competitive Wright quickly became interested in affordable housing for the masses. In 1936, when the United States was in the depths of the Great Depression, Wright realized that the nations housing needs would forever be changed. Most of his clients would lead more simple lives, without household help, but still deserving of sensible, classic design. It is not only necessary to get rid of all unnecessary complications in construction wrote Wright, it is necessary to consolidate and simplify the three appurtenance systems heating, lighting, and sanitation. Designed to control costs, Wrights Usonian houses had no attics, no basements, simple roofs, radiant heating (what Wright called gravity heat), natural ornamentation, and efficient use of space, inside and out. Some have said that the word Usonia is an abbreviation for United States of North America. This meaning explains Wrights aspiration to createa democratic, distinctly national style that was affordable for thecommon people of the United States. A superb, impressive architectural drawing of this important house with the elevation scales.

About Bulova Corporation The realisation of a great American dream began in 1875 when Joseph Bulova, a 23-year-old immigrant from Bohemia, opened a small jewellery store on Malden Lane in New York City. This modest enterprise was to evolve into one of today’s preeminent watch and clock companies. During World War I, wristwatches were issued in the military for their greater convenience. Returning veterans brought home the new fashion – and a new market emerged. Bulova timepieces use only the finest materials, precision, craftsmanship, and state-of-the-art technology for enduring quality and performance. At the heart of each Bulova watch is precision accuracy.

Frank Lloyd Wright: THE NATURAL HOUSE. New York: Horizon Press, 1954. First edition [with "/54" in the initial box on the front cover]. Oatmeal cloth decorated in Cherokee red and black.

For more than a half century Frank Lloyd Wright has been the prophet of a new idea in architecture. It is called organic architecture. It has spread throughout the world. This is Frank Lloyd Wrights treatise on designing the organic house of the future, with particular attention paid to his Usonian house projects and descriptions of a simplified version the Usonian Automaticthat the owners themselves can build with great economy and beauty. The Usonian house, Wright proclaims, aims to be a natural performance, one that is integral to site, to environment, to the life of the inhabitants, integral with the nature of the materials. “In our country the chief obstacle to any real solution of the moderate-cost house-problem is the fact that our people do not really know how to live, imagining their idiosyncrasies to be their “tastes, their prejudices to be their predilections and their ignorance to be virtue where any beauty of living is concerned. – Frank Lloyd Wright. From the book: This book not only brings together for the first time Mr. Wrights earlier writings onthehouse of moderate cost; it also contains a great deal of new material, never before published, which he has just written specifically to answer such important practical questions as: How can it be done with a limited budget? What kind of land and where/ What materials to use? What is the best kind of roof? Must be a pattern for more simple and, at the same time, more gracious living: new but suitable to living conditions as they might so well be in the country we live in today. This needed house of moderate cost must sometime face reality. The houses built by the million. Do no such thing. To me such houses are “escapist” houses, putting on some style or other, really having none. A style is not. There is all the difference when we work with style and not for a style.
