fotografr Posted December 22, 2022 Share #1 Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I was searching through my negatives yesterday looking for an old image and came across these 40-year-old shots of Taliesan East, including some of the interior of Frank Lloyd Wright's home, normally off limits. Somebody did some negotiating to get me in back in my very early days of freelancing. I had mentioned to Wally (WAR) a while back that I had these images but wasn't able to find them. The negatives were pretty rough so these images don't have artistic merit. I'm just posting them for their historical interest. In addition to photos of the home, there's one of the inside of the school and one of the theater with its famous curtain designed by Wright. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted December 22, 2022 Posted December 22, 2022 Hi fotografr, Take a look here Taliesan East (for WAR). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted December 23, 2022 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2022 Actually, a terrific set. It's frustrating how often a FLW building is off-limits to interior photos. fortunately, that's not the case with Taliesan West, which we visited last month. but it was the case with the FLW house in Bentonville (also last month) and in southern New Hampshire (three years ago). Those last two were owned by museums. We'll catch Fallingwater in a 2024 road trip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted December 24, 2022 Share #3 Posted December 24, 2022 The concept of the facility can be very well seen. Stefan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted December 25, 2022 Share #4 Posted December 25, 2022 In spite of the FLW designs being so lovely, and wonderfully integrated to their locations, they have many impracticalities. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are quite good images despite their contition. I too have photos going back to the 60's of both Scottsdale while Olgivanna was still alive and running the school, and Spring Green. The negative's whereabouts have eluded me so far, and they are from a TLR anyway. I have never seen the curtain. I can only imagine the colors. Thanks again, it's good to see your take on the interiors, all well composed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. Low ceilings in many of his homes, very uncomfortable furniture and leaky roofs are common shortcomings. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
