Wright's Wasmuth Portfolio

In the first decade of the 20th century, Frank Lloyd Wright's new Prairie Style of architecture was more appreciated in Europe than in the United States.

Leading German publisher Ernst Wasmuth published Ausgeführte Bauten und Entwürfe, von Frank Lloyd Wright in 1910. This publication, known today simply as The Wasmuth Portfolio, consists of 72 folio plates and 28 tissue overlays, and is considered to be one of the most influential architectural publications of the twentieth century.

The work includes ground plans, sections, perspective views, and interior details of Wright's work to that date. Built and unbuilt residences, churches, and commercial buildings are meticulously and artfully presented.
