Terence Riley (November 6, 1954 May 17, 2021) was an American architect and museum curator. He was the chief curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art from 1992 to 2006. In 1984, Riley formed the firm Keenen/Riley in 1984 with John Keenen. As a member of ACT UP, Riley worked on Let The Record Show, a window installation that opened at the New Museum in 1987. In 1990, he opened the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery at Columbia, and was recruited by Philip Johnson a year later to work at the Museum of Modern Art, becoming Philip Johnson Chief Curator for architecture and design in 1992. He helped to found the MoMA/P.S.1 Young Architects Program. In 2006 he became director of the Miami Art Museum, leaving in 2009 to return to architectural practice in Miami. At MoMA, he curated a number of important shows during his 14-year tenure. Glenn Lowry, the museum's director since 1995, said that his work on "Frank Lloyd Wright: Architect" (1994), and "Mies in Berlin" (2001) "reflected a high level of scholarship." Undeniably the greatest architectural genius of his time, Frank Lloyd Wright produced a vast body of work that defined and redefined American architecture. This book, published to accompany a retrospective exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, presents a comprehensive summary of his vision--from the turn of the century until his death in1959--and a new assessment of his a rmarkable achievement. The Museum of Modern Art included Frank Lloyd Wright's work in its inaugural architectural exhibition, Modern Architecture, International Exhibition, in 1932. The inclusion was an uneasy one. Organizers Philip Johnson and Henry-Russell Hitchcock acknowledged the genius of Wright's earlier work, but saw Europe as the cutting edge of architectural innovation. Wright himself rejected the International Style and was offended by being grouped with other architects. Wright's achievements of the late 1930s forced a re-evaluation of his position. In 1940, the Museum mounted Frank Lloyd Wright: American Architect, a major retrospective of his work to date. Wright himself arrived with an entourage of apprentices, amid a fanfare of publicity, to supervise the installation of the one-man show. In 1962, three years after his death, the architect's lifetime achievements were surveyed in Frank Lloyd Wright Drawings. Individual Wright projects were the subject of a series of focused exhibitions during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. The single-project exhibitions began in 1938, with Fallingwater. This was followed by A New Country House (1946), featuring Wright's model for the then-unbuilt G.M. Loeb House in Redding, Connecticut; Frank Lloyd Wright: Taliesin and Taliesin West (1947); and Frank Lloyd Wright: A New Theatre (1949). In 1952, Frank Lloyd Wright: Building for Johnson's Wax Company was installed as a peep show of three-dimensional slides in individual viewers. This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition Frank Lloyd Wright: Architect, a comprehensive retrospective of the achievement of this genius of American architecture. Coming thirty-five years after his death, this exhibition presents a new generational view of Wright and his architecture, as the Museum's first retrospective of his work, presented in 1940, reflected that of an earlier generation. Developed from a broad cultural perspective, Frank Lloyd Wright: Architect addresses critical contemporary issues: the archit.
