Prairie School Furniture Design – Wright Sullivan Holst Maher…/ Scarce Book

Description

THE PRAIRIE SCHOOL – DESIGN VISION FOR THE MIDWEST
, The Art Institute of Chicago, Volume 21, No. 2, 1995.
A typical museum text, the photography is superb, the captions are in-depth, and the narrative is extremely rich.  This fascinating text pictures and describes examples of Prairie School architecture and furniture design by such notables as Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, George Maher, Hermann von Holst, and more.  Other movers include Teco and Kalo Wares, Roycroft Industries and Craftsman Workshops, The Prairie Schools Press, and others.  A chapter is dedicated to “The Life and Work of Marion Mahoney Griffin”  – “a founding member of the Prairie School and, aside from Frank Lloyd Wright, the longest practitioner of the movement.”   Pictured and described are examples of architecture, furniture, print, metalwork, sculpture, and more.
This book is an invaluable reference for the collector, dealer, researcher, or historian of objects of art of the Mission Arts & Crafts movement.
