WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd. Ausgeführte Bauten und Entwürfe von Frank Lloyd Wright. Berlin. Ernst Wasmuth A. G. 1910.
First edition of Frank Lloyd Wright's rare pre-war German publication.This rare work contains 100 lithographed plans of Wright's completed projects. The rarity of the publication is due to the unfortunate destruction of many of the American copies in a fire. As such, the work is better known & more influential in Europe & its architectural circles. The work has been described as 'undoubtedly the most beautifully produced publication on architecture in the twentieth century. Using several colours of paper, plus tissue overlays, and several colours of ink, the publisher created a magnificent vehicle for the presentation of the art of Frank Lloyd Wright.' Many of the drawings were executed by Wright's collaborator Marion Mahony Griffin.Those works illustrated include: Winslow Residence, Lexington Terrace, Metzker Residence, River Forest Golf Club, Prairie House, Hardy House, Wolf Lake Development, Bank in Mason City, as well as Wright's famous Unity Temple & the Cheney House.

2 vols. Oblong folio. (415 x 650 mm). Loose as issued in original publisher's cloth-backed printed board portfolios, titles to upper boards, additional cloth-backed protective portfolio for both vols. The complete set of 72 lithographed plates, 1 folding, 28 with tissue overlays and 20 printed on grey paper. Plate 62 is printed in gold and 64 in full colour. Plates are numbered 1 to 64, plus 13a, 14a, 31a, 31b, 33a, 43a, 47a and 56a.
