Frank Lloyd Wright’s Southwestern Pennsylvania: The Fallingwater Projects

Exhibitions at the Speyer Gallery

Available October 15, 2023 through December 31, 2023

Accompanying the larger exhibition at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Southwestern Pennsylvania: The Fallingwater Projects will feature the unbuilt designs Wright proposed for the Fallingwater estate. A series of supporting structures including a farm cottage for the caretaker (1941), two versions of gate houses (1941 and 1956), and a private family chapel (1952) were envisioned to complement the main house and guest house for the Kaufmann family, completed between 1936 and 1939. The Fallingwater projects will be exhibited through reproduction drawings with four displayed as short animated films providing visitors, for the first time, virtual views into these structures as well an understanding of the Kaufmanns’ and Wright’s overall concept for the site.
