Frank Lloyd Wright Saguaro Forms Large Suction Cup Vase

The work of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is recognized worldwide as pivotal to the development of modern architecture. Through a deep understanding of our relationship with the natural world, Wright's ideas and designs were inspired by organic forms. His vision, “to make life more beautiful, the world a better one for living in, and to give rhyme, reason, and meaning to life” is carried on through the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and represented on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

In 1927, Wright submitted a series of cover designs to Liberty magazine. All were rejected by the editors as too “radical” and were never published. One of these designs was Saguaro Forms and Cactus Flowers, Wright's interpretation of a desert landscape. Although initially disregarded, the image became one of Wrights most popular and was later transformed into a stained-glass feature for the lobby of the renowned Arizona Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona.
