AdmittedFrank Lloyd Wright · 1915-17
This one's called American System-Built Houses for The Richards Company project, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Axonometric) — an architectural work by Frank Lloyd Wright, nineteen fifteen to nineteen seventeen. A lithograph, drawn in grease on stone: the stone is wetted so the ink takes only where the drawing is. Nothing is cut away. You can pick out the architectural plan.
Medium Lithograph · Dimensions 11 x 8 1/2" (27.9 x 21.6 cm) · Credit Gift of David Rockefeller, Jr. Fund, Ira Howard Levy Fund, and Jeffrey P. Klein Purchase Fund
