When Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Darwin D. Martin House Complexin 1903, he filled the windows, doors, skylights, and lay lights with nearly fourhundred pieces of his signature art glass. The spectacular designs, abstractionsof the architecture and surrounding environment, are among some of Wright'sfinest. These "light screens," as Wright described them, were fundamental to hisarchitectural philosophy of "bringing the outside in" by blurring the line betweenenclosed and open spaces. Despite the site-specific nature of Wright's art-glass, nearly three-quartersof the pieces at the Martin House Complex were removed in the 1960s anddistributed to museum and private collections throughout the world. Today,due to the tremendous reconstruction efforts by the Martin House RestorationCorporation, the art-glass designs have been restored to their original home. Only now, in their original context, is it possible to fully appreciate thearchitectural brilliance of Wright's masterpieces. Edited by Martin House curator Eric Jackson-Forsberg, with additional textby Theodore Lownie, Robert McCarter, and Jack Quinan and an introductionby art-glass expert Julie Sloan, Frank Lloyd Wright: Art Glass of the MartinHouse Complex explores the breadth of Wright's iconic, iridescent creations forthe Martin House.
