of the chair in Wright's architecture: technically, historically, and aesthetically.
She discusses, among other topics, why some chairs were more successful
than others, how some chairs evolved and were reinvented over a period of
sixty years, and the client-specific aspect of their designs. Mary Anna
Eaton's essay Growing Up Wright, reflects on her experiences and
observations from childhood to adulthood as a resident of a Frank Lloyd
Wright house. (right: catalogue front cover)
