By Jane King Hession and Debra Pickrel

This informative, generously illustrated volume examines the period from 1954 to 1959, when one of the world's greatest architects lived in one of the world's greatest cities. Frank Lloyd Wright, who often expressed disdain for the city, nevertheless took pride and pleasure in living in a great Manhattan landmark, the Plaza Hotel. During this time, he shepherded the Guggenheim Museum, his New York masterwork, to near completion. This book lets the reader explore the sophistication and vigor of Wright's final years, a time when he was an architect of legend and a bona fide celebrity, and New York was basking in postwar prosperity.
