On Monday, April 25, renowned scholar, Jack Quinan will be joining us at the Boulder Public Library for an evening of reflection on the life and works of Frank Lloyd Wright. This presentation is being brought to you through a joint sponsorship effort of our team and our friends at HMH Architecture + Interiors. Here’s a bit of background and what you can expect from this event:
Who is Frank Lloyd Wright?
There are very few regions of the United States that have not been touched by Frank Lloyd Wright’s famed architectural talents, and there are hundreds of examples of his work spanning from coast to coast. He has had a hand in everything from the Guggenheim Museum to private residences, and even public gas stations. Through the course of his career, he changed our nation’s urban and suburban landscape and fueled the initial modern design movement. To say that his reach and influence were vast would be quite the understatement.
Who is Jack Quinan?
His lifelong dedication to researching and writing about the work of Frank Lloyd Wright has earned Jack Quinan a place among the Fellows of the Society of Architectural Historians, a very prestigious designation, to say the least. He is a professor of art history at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and he has authored several books on Frank Lloyd Wright. He is also the founder of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy and the curator of Wright’s Darwin D. Martin House in Buffalo, New York.
Quinan’s April 25th presentation is the subject of yet another forthcoming book, and we are very excited to have him join us here in Boulder for this highly-anticipated talk. This presentation is intended to be a casual, social event for everyone in our community. Whether you are an architectural buff or simply someone who appreciates great design, grab your friends and join us for this exciting night of architectural musing.
Light refreshments will be served in the Gallery before and after the presentation, which runs from 6-8:30pm. Of course, the event is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Be sure to make your way over to the 15th Street Design District website and reserve your spot. We can’t wait to see you there!
