Frank Lloyd Wright a Fiesole cento anni dopo 1910/2010. Dalle colline di Firenze al «colle splendente». Catalogo della mostra. Ediz. italiana e ... Years Later 1910/2010 (Cataloghi arte) - Softcover

Catalogo mostra: Fiesole, Antiquarium Costantini, 17 giugno-30 agosto 2010. L'architetto americano trascorse la primavera e l'estate del 1910 dapprima a Firenze poi sulla collina di Fiesole. La mostra raccoglie, fra gli altri, i disegni che Wright realizzò durante il suo soggiorno fiesolano - ospite del villino Belvedere in via Verdi - per un'abitazione, sempre in Fiesole, però mai costruita. I progetti esposti, attualmente conservati alla Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation di Scottsdale (Arizona) e alla University of Utah Library, vengono eccezionalmente mostrati a Fiesole insieme ad alcuni disegni della villa di Taliesin, residenza definitiva dell'architetto statunitense e attualmente sede della Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is considered by many to be one of the 20th century's finest and most prolific architects - in fact, in 1991 the American Institute of Architects named him as "the greatest American architect of all time." In 1910, after continued controversy surrounding his personal life and his relationship with Bothwick Cheney, Wright moved to Europe for a year, settling in the town of Fiesole, near Florence. During his time in Fiesole, Wright published one of his most important works, Studies and Executed Buildings, which brought his work to the attention of European architects and designers such as Mies van der Rohe, and created numerous designs which took his work in new directions. This superbly illustrated volume presents readers a stunning showcase of Wright's work from his European visit, including plans for a villa in Fiesole that was, sadly, never built.
