Wright Chat

Glenbrow was the site of an art performance by French Visual Artist Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann as part of a series of works at CCAD's Beeler Gallery curated by Jo-ey Tang. The artist used that the backdrop of organic architecture to "map out the unconscious undercurrents of design in the huma...

I thought chatters might be interested in this film on R.M. Schindler: "The first feature-length documentary about the life and works of R. M. Schindler, the most innovative and the least understood of all the pioneers of modern architecture. The film affirms the singular genius of one man, and...

The Glenbrow Tower was designed by Ted van Fossen in 1964 for Robert and Mary Gunning for use as office space, work space and a guest suite with a roof terrace with a Murphy bed. The structure was connected to the carport which added 2 more bays at the time for a total of 4. The original lower level...

Thanks SDR! The artist that used this fixture as part of a piece could find no markings indicating that it was by Mr Wright. She researched and could not find any similar photos of fixtures. I suggested that folks on this site might be able to shed some light (excuse the pun) on whether it is a Fran...

This light fixture was at an antique/collectibles warehouse and it was claimed to be by Frank Lloyd Wright. I'm wondering if any of you are familiar with this fixture as being from a Wright building and if so which building. Thanks in advance. https://www.flickr.com/photos/184945691@N04/48881894626/...

For those you are on Instagram, the current owner, Andrew Romano has two wonderful accounts: one: the_walker_house and the other: andrew_romano. Both are a treasure trove of images not only of his beautiful Schindler house but of many other important works of architecture! I highly recommend followi...

tvf4ever...I would highly recommend keeping the furniture with the house but if storage is a must and you are worried about keeping it it in pristine condition and are considering selling, I can put you in contact with Rush Creek Village Owners Association to see if some of the homeowners would be i...

Congratulations tvf4ever! Beautiful house! My husband and I are currently restoring a 4 story tower, built in '64 by Ted as an office for the original owner of the property, Robert Gunning. The property known as Glenbrow/Gunning House was designed in 1940 by Tony Smith (age 27), Ted van Fossen and L...

Laetitia visited in February, along with curators. She was referred to us by an architecture professor friend and were told that her work explores the mutability of a work of architecture over time and those who reside in it. She previously had an installation in Alvar Aalto's Maison Louis Carre and...

FYI...Who knew restoration would lead to such interesting life experiences: Instance No. 2: Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann: Exposure Sunday, Oct. 13, 2019 | 1–4 p.m. Shuttle pickup and introduction:Beeler Gallery | 60 Cleveland Ave. (Entrance on E. Gay Street) | Columbus, Ohio Tour: Glenbrow/Gu...

Does one of the "Great Room" ceiling beams actually bisect the stone column and extend out to the edge of the soffit?

The house, on a 4 acre site located within an enclave of 30 homes that range in price from $500k-$1.2 mill just sold for asking price $649K. This seems reasonable compared with the downtown (assuming Cinci) living that the owners are planning. Although I believe the buyer of the Boulter House ($695k...

I'm interested in what chatters think of this house just north of Cincinnati: "There's a Frank Lloyd Wright-Inspired Home Just Sitting In the Woods of Lebanon" -snip 'Tony didn’t want just anyone to design their house, either. He wanted it to be an authentic FLW-inspired home. He co...

Lots of photos of 1938 Schindler Harry J Wolff House in Sherman Oaks (hat tip Andrew R):

Not on FLW but he does appear in Mark Lamster's: "Philip Johnson: Man in the Glass House"
