FELLOWSHIP - THE: The Untold Story Of Frank Lloyd Wright & The Taliesin Fellowship

BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Frank Lloyd Wright was renowned during his life not only as an architectural genius, but as a subject of controversy-from his radical design innovations to his turbulent private life, including the notorious mass murder that occurred at his Wisconsin estate, Taliesin, in 1914. Yet, as this landmark new book reveals, that estate also gave rise to one of the most fascinating and provocative experiments in American cultural history: the Taliesin Fellowship, an extraordinary architectural colony where Wright trained hundreds of devoted apprentices, while using them at the de facto architectural practice where all of his late masterpieces-Fallingwater, Johnson Wax, the Guggenheim Museum-were born. Epic in scope yet intimate in its detail, The Fellowship is an unforgettable story of genius and ego, sex and violence, mysticism and utopianism-a magisterial work of biography that will forever change how we think about Frank Lloyd Wright and his world.
