“Frank Lloyd Wright at 150: Unpacking the Archive”
On view through Oct.1
Frank Lloyd Wright was one of the most prolific and renowned architects of the 20th century, a
radical designer and intellectual who embraced new technologies and materials, pioneered do-it-
yourself construction systems as well as avant-garde experimentation, and advanced original
theories with regards to nature, urban planning, and social politics. Marking the 150th anniversary
of the American architect’s birth on June 8, 1867, MoMA presents “Frank Lloyd Wright at 150:
Unpacking the Archive,” a major exhibition that critically engages his multifaceted practice. The
exhibition comprises approximately 450 works made from the 1890s through the 1950s, including
architectural drawings, models, building fragments, films, television broadcasts, print media,
furniture, tableware, textiles, paintings, photographs, and scrapbooks, along with a number of
works that have rarely or never been publicly exhibited.
