Summary

A retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, 'Frank Lloyd Wright at 150: Unpacking the Archive,' offered a comprehensive exploration of the legendary architect's work and legacy. The exhibition, reviewed by Peter Clericuzio, Lecturer in Architectural History + Heritage at the University of Edinburgh, delved into Wright's innovative designs, his influence on modern architecture, and the significance of his contributions to 20th-century aesthetics. Through a curated selection of drawings, models, photographs, and furniture, the exhibition aimed to provide a deeper understanding of Wright's creative process and his enduring impact on architectural thought. The review highlights the exhibition's success in presenting Wright's work as both a historical artifact and a living legacy, bridging the gap between academic study and public appreciation.
