“Hollyhock House and Olive Hill: Frank Lloyd Wright and Edmund Teske”
In 1919, Aline Barnsdall commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to assist with her plans for Olive Hill, her property in Hollywood that was to be a grand performing arts center. The scheme was never realized, yet Wright’s sketches and plans provide the only evidence of the patron’s ambitions vision. This exhibition presents more than two dozen drawings for the Olive Hill project, which includes the famed Hollyhock House, as well as two dozen photographs by Edmund Teske, a Chicago native who lived and worked on the Olive Hill property during the late 1940s. Teske’s ability to manipulate photographic printing to produce atmospheric images stretches the medium and helps to define both artist and architect. Organized by the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department and was made possible by the generosity of Mr. David Devine. The Exhibition is circulated by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions, Pasadena, California. Made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Oklahoma Arts Council.
