Frank Lloyd Wright Art Exhibit

On Exhibit Until

Mid-April, 2010!

Fifty authentic and authorized Frank Lloyd Wright prints will be on display at the historic Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum.  This is a rare opportunity to see such a large collection of Frank Lloyd Wright's work under one roof in the Midwest this year!

Frank Lloyd Wright is generally regarded as one of the world's greatest architects.  His impact goes beyond the architectural world.  By creating designs for furniture, textiles, flatware, and more, he surrounded us with unique objects of beauty, making our lives richer and more meaningful.  All of his designs served the bigger idea, which was creating a new uniquely American architecture and ultimately a healthier democratic society.  Throughout his 72-year career, Wright pushed the limits of contemporary technology and challenged his clients to think "outside the box."

The images presented in this exhibit for the first time in Northern Indiana, are reproductions of original drawings, now part of the Frank Lloyd Wright archives in Taliesin, Arizona.  The drawings are outstanding pieces of art and stand alone as a tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright's genius.

The exhibit is a collaborative project between the West Lafayette Public Library and the John E. Christian Family Memorial Trust, Inc. 

In addition to the fifty drawings in this exhibit, there are two of Frank Lloyd Wright's personal automobiles on exhibit from the museum's permanent collection.  A 1929 Cord L-29 Cabriolet that Wright purchased in the 1950s and a 1952 Crosley Super Roadster that Wright purchased new are exhibited.

This exhibit is produced in cooperation with the DeKalb County Visitors Bureau.
