弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特,1867年生于美国威斯康辛州,20岁即前往芝加哥在著名建筑师路易斯·沙利文麾下工作。在其长达60余年的职业生涯中,赖特至少完成了1114项建筑设计,最终落成的也有532个之多。由此看来,广为人知的流水别墅、古根海姆博物馆等等不过是其创作的冰山一角。

2017年6月至10月,为纪念赖特诞辰150周年,纽约现代艺术博物馆特别举办了展览Frank Llyod Wright at 150: Unpacking the Archive,从极其丰富的赖特基金会档案中选取450件创作于19世纪末至20世纪中叶的作品展出,全面覆盖了赖特在建筑设计、模型制作甚至家具、餐具、织物设计等多个领域的辉煌成就。

值得一提的,展览和图录甚至没有回避饱受非议的项目“罗森沃尔德学校”。毕竟,MoMA有志于借难得一见的赖特基金会档案,引发专家以及普通观众的讨论,鼓励人们重新审视这位现代建筑史上不容回避的大家的实践与野心。
