Description
The Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It was built from 1905-1908. Wright was a member of the congregation and was descended from Unitarian ministers in Wales. His bid of $38,000 dollars was accepted as the low bid. Unfortunately, he overran the budget by another $30,000 until the elders said “Not one more penny Mr. Wright.”
His vision was to create a building for worship and fellowship that incorporated influences from Mayan and Japanese cultures most obviously and from other traditions as well.
The building was unique in that it was the first time anyone had built a complete structure using basically one material. In this case it was reinforced concrete. Wright’s decision would influence other architects for generations to come, most notably Mies van der Rohe.
The Temple is held today in a trust for historic preservation.
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 “Unity Temple Vortex” 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.
