The Wright Society® calls our attention to Curbed coverage of this event. Thanks to all . . .
Could there be more than a half-dozen Usonians with board-and-sunk-batten ceilings ?
The interiors in the photo set appear to be green-biased; either the color balance is off or the house has been treated to an ox-blood stain treatment -- and the decor has been carefully edited. Maybe all three ?

| I’ve been told the opening bid is $300,000. Who knows? Someone might get lucky! |

Is Heritage Auctions (Dallas, TX) becoming a go-to place for Wrightiana ?
Ironic, if so, that the auction house should have come to our attention this year for its sales of multiple Wright works-on-paper---works whose provenance suggests that they were stolen from Taliesin while Mr Wright was still alive...

Puff, indeed.
This house was bequeathed to the Nelson-Atkins Museum by a previous owner, Richard Stern. The museum, befuddled as are most museums, couldn't figure out what to do with the bequest, and finally sold it back to Mr Stern's companion. |

| Maybe Warren Buffet has decided to go south for retirement. |
