Description

Frank Lloyd Wright commissioned an unknown Italian immigrant, Alfonso Iannelli, to create a series of these sprites as garden decorations for an amusement park called Midway Gardens that was built on the South Side of Chicago in the Hyde Park neighborhood. The park opened in 1914, began to fail by 1916 and was razed completely in 1929. It began with higher brow performances of notables like Anna Pavlova and the National Symphony. It later became more of a vaudeville venue in attempts to keep things afloat. This Sprite now occupies a garden at Wright’s 1909 Oak Park home.

One of a Kind

You can purchase a one of a kind, original print of this image directly from the artist by contacting me via email. The picture is signed and the mat has a hand drawn remarque in graphite. The paper and inks are archival and the printing is done under my direct supervision.

An original print is one on which I have personally supervised the process. It is printed on archival paper using archival inks. I hand sign the piece and draw a remarque on the mat that in some way reflects the original image. This small original drawing adds aesthetic interest as well as value to the print. In the case of “Midway Garden Sprite” I might draw a Wright hollyhock design or some other related object in graphite.

An original print is a higher value collector's piece because of the additional care and handling. It differs from the prints that are sold by Fine Art America by virtue of the quality of materials, the signature and the remarque. Its increased value to the collector is in its one of a kind status.

I frame the image using gallery molding - clean, square wood molding in either black, white, natural or walnut stain. It has a contemporary look that gives the piece a professional finish.

Shipping & Handling are based on zipcode. I can give you a specific price when I know the destination. The size of the image is 24x36. The mat and frame add to the size. The finished piece is approximately 30x40.

Additionally, prints of all of my photos can be purchased directly from me in various sizes that include a signature, a remarque and custom framing. Please contact me by email for details and pricing.
