Description

Architect to client: “Nothing has pleased me more than the opportunity to ‘build you in’”

Highly influential American architect (1867–1959) whose mastery of space, form, and human-centered design revolutionized the field of architecture and earned him a place among the greatest thinkers and artists of the twentieth century. TLS, one page, 11 x 8.5, Wright-designed Taliesin letterhead, September 21, 1946. Wright writes to Clark Foreman in Washington, D.C. In full: “We will go over the plans of your house with your suggestions in mind. I intend to be in New York in late October or early November and could perhaps see you and your friend then? Nothing has pleased me more than the opportunity to ‘build you in.’ To the little family—my best….” In fine condition, with mailing fold touching one letter of signature, subtle soiling, and faint toning to blank edges from previous framing. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
