03 March, 2022

Description

As part of Kirkland Museum’s celebration of the genius of American architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright, three lectures will be presented with renowned Frank Lloyd Wright experts beginning with Jack Quinan. Jack Quinan, based in Boulder, is a Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus in the Department of Visual Studies at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Curator Emeritus at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House and will lecture on the Martin House as it relates to the return of the windows from Kirkland Museum. The Returning Wright exhibition is one part of Kirkland Museum’s larger celebration of the genius of Frank Lloyd Wright. Kirkland Museum is repatriating two original windows from the Museum’s collection to their original context in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House (built 1903–1905) in Buffalo, New York. Currently on display near the east entrance of Kirkland Museum, the “light screens,” as the architect called them, will return to the Martin House in mid-April 2022. Wright’s light screens are an important contributing attribute to the overall significance of the Martin House. The light screens were acquired by the Museum and have been under their careful stewardship for 23 years.
