Structured as a series of inquiries into the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives at Taliesin West, Arizona (recently acquired by MoMA and Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, Columbia University), the book is a collection of scholarly explorations rather than an attempt to construct a master narrative. Each chapter centers on a key object from the archive that an invited author has "unpacked"--Tracing its meanings and connections, and juxtaposing it with other works from the archive, from MoMA, or from outside collections. Wright's quest to build a mile-high skyscraper reveals him to be one of the earliest celebrity architects, using television, press relations and other forms of mass media to advance his own self-crafted image. A little-known project for a Rosenwald School for African-American children, together with other projects that engage Japanese and Native American culture, ask provocative questions about Wright's positions on race and cultural identity. Still other investigations engage the architect's lifelong dedication to affordable and do-it-yourself housing, as well as the ecological systems, both social and environmental, that informed his approach to cities, landscapes and even ornament. The publication aims to open up Wright's work to questions, interrogations and debates, and to highlight interpretations by contemporary scholars, both established Wright experts and others considering this iconic figure from new and illuminating perspectives. Publié pour une exposition majeure au Musée d'Art Moderne, ce catalogue révèle de nouvelles perspectives sur le travail de Frank Lloyd Wright, concepteur prolifique. Structuré comme une série d'enquêtes sur les archives de la Fondation Frank Lloyd Wright à Taliesin West, en Arizona (récemment acquise par MoMA et Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, Columbia University), le livre est une collection d'explorations savantes plutôt qu'une tentative de construire un récit principal. Chaque chapitre se concentre sur un objet clé de l'archive qu'un auteur invité a "déballer" - traçant ses significations et ses connexions et le juxtaposant à d'autres travaux de l'archive, du MoMA ou des collections externes (d'après éditeur) ER -
