WENDINGEN. Year 4. Number 11. (Frank Lloyd Wright by H. P. Berlage)

Lissitzky. Wright, Frank Lloyd

Amsterdam. 1921
The famous Frank Lloyd Wright issue of Wendingen with the original lithographic cover by El Lissitzky.

An individual number from the splendid example of early 20th century ideas in art and architecture, unique among similar projects for the length of its run, its immaculate production, consistent high quality, and highly individual typography by H. Th. Wijdeveld. Of Wendingen's 116 issues, all but 11 are devoted to single subjects, with an unusually high percentage of architecture including 8 issues on Frank Lloyd Wright of which this is one.
pp. 38. Square 4to. (330 x 330 mm). Illustrated with monochrome photographs of Frank Lloyd Wright's oeuvre throughout; decorative borders and advertisements printed in grey. Original publisher's stitched lithographic wrappers by El Lissitzky; slightly worn, with some with loss to right edge.
