Frank Lloyd Wright's great buildings have become part of the Modern American landscape. Veteran photographer Farrell Grehan captures their appearance today, focusing on the interaction of structures with light and space and with their natural surroundings. Approximately 50 projects are covered and each is accompanied by a statement from Wright that illuminates his creative thought. Special treatment is given to Wright's three principal residences: his Oak Park, Illinois home, his studio Taliesen and Taliesin West, near Scottsdale, Arizona. Also featured for the first time is the Monona Terrace civic centre in Madison, Wisconsin, which opened in 1997, some 40 years after Wright designed it! Terence Riley's essay examines Wright's legacy with special attention to the importance of materials in his work.
