描述
Curated by Jennifer Gray, the exhibition ‘Frank Lloyd Wright Between USA and Italy’ at Turin’s Pinacoteca Agnelli is devoted to the drawings and designs of the famous American architect. Wright first visited Italy in 1910; there he would elaborate the ideals of a democratic architecture, closely connected to nature, that inspired his work and that of many Italian architects. In 1935 Edoardo Persico’s thoughts on Wright precipitated a decades-long engagement with the theory of organic architecture and its implications for Italian culture. This exhibition catalogue details the relationship between Wright and Italy, from prairie houses and skyscrapers to public projects.
