WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd (1869–1959). Wendingen: The Life–Work of the American Architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Series 7, nos. 3-9. Santpoort, Holland: C.A. Mees, 1925-1926.
7 parts in 7 volumes, square 4to. Illustrated throughout, printed on accordion-fold sheets. Original wrappers printed in red, white, and black after H. Th. Wijdeveld's design, original stab-sewing (some light rubbing, a few numbers with soft bends or creases). Provenance: Dr. J. B. Hubrecht, Madrid (pencil signature on black border of part IV).
FIRST EDITION. Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture was introduced to Europe in 1911 when Berlin publisher Ernst Wasmuth published Ausgeführte Bauten und Entwürfe von Frank Lloyd Wright. Wendingen was the first major publication devoted to Wright's work to follow the Wasmuth portfolio, and includes contributions by Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, Wijdeveld and other leading European architects, illustrating Wright's work from 1902 through 1923. Wendigen was the publication by the Amsterdam association of architects Architectura et Amicitia, and these seven numbers devoted to Wright include typesetting and design by Wijdeveld, who also edited the issues. RARE.
