Resurrecting Frank Lloyd Wright
This week’s New York magazine spotlights the completion of “a posthumous construction from the twentieth century’s most famous architect,” Frank Lloyd Wright. The house, located on a private island 50 miles north of New York City, was financed by a sheet-metal magnate determined to complete the project, which had been shelved for over 50 years. Wright (who died in 1959) had originally intended the home to surpass Fallingwater, his masterpiece. “There are those who will celebrate its realization,” writes David Colman. “And there are its haters: architects, scholars and amateurs who say it’s not Wright’s real vision.” A slideshow of the house at NYmag.com lets the reader decide.
