Frank Lloyd Wright (American, 1867–1959), recognized worldwide as one of the greatest architects of the twentieth century, typically fashioned his designs entirely in his head before setting them down on paper; once his vision was complete, he drew swiftly and surely. Wright’s work heralded a new thinking in architecture, using innovations in design and engineering made possible by newly developed technology and materials. With a commission from Solomon Guggenheim to design a new museum, Wright created a bold plan that incorporated the circles he loved so much. The images reproduced here show two of Wright’s drawings for both daytime and night views of the museum to be set across Fifth Avenue from New York City’s Central Park. “Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward,” an exhibition slated to open in May 2009 at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, will celebrate seven decades of the architect’s career against the backdrop of the fiftieth anniversary of the Guggenheim Museum, one of his greatest designs.
