Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is celebrated as one of America’s most famous modern architects, noted for masterworks such as the Edgar J. Kaufmann House (Fallingwater) and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
Wright's passion for ukiyo-e and close ties to Japan are also evident in the works he left in Japan, including the Wright Imperial Hotel (now partially relocated and preserved at Museum Meijimura) and Jiyu Gakuen School. In 2012, a collection of more than 50,000 materials, including his drawings, was transferred from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library at Columbia University.
Ongoing research has been conducted to uncover Wright’s broad vision and intellect from art, architecture, and design to writing, landscape, education, construction, and urbanism. Jointly curated by Japanese and US teams with Ken Tadashi Oshima (Professor at the University of Washington) and Jennifer Gray (Vice-President and Director of the Taliesin Institute, Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation) invited from the United States, this exhibition will highlight Wright’s cutting-edge endeavors through his interaction with diverse cultures bridged by the Imperial Hotel and showcase his drawings among other materials.
The perspective of this global architect resonates with present-day challenges and inspires the world yet to come.
