  • Series I: Frank Lloyd Wright collection of Louis Henry Sullivan drawings

    This collection of 122 drawings by Louis Henry Sullivan (1856-1924) were given to Frank Lloyd Wright by Sullivan days before his death. Many of the drawings have been annotated by Wright. The bulk of these drawings date from 1883 to 1910, when Sullivan was a partner with Dankmar Adler in the architectural firm Adler and Sullivan. Avery Library purchased this collection in 1965 from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation with support from the Edgar Kaufmann Charitable Foundation.

Sprague's The drawings of Louis Henry Sullivan: a catalog of the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection at the Avery Architectural Library (Princeton University Press). Sprague, an expert of Sullivan's ornament, dated, attributed and categorized the drawings. Sprague's work is the basis for Avery's description of the drawings.

History / Biographical Note

Biographical / Historical

Louis Henry Sullivan was born September 3, 1856 in Boston, Massachusetts. His Swiss-born mother, Andrienne List, and his Irish-born father, Patrick Sullivan, had both emigrated to the United States in the late 1840s.

At the age of 16, Sullivan was briefly enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but left after a year to work for architect Frank Furness in Philadelphia. He was not working long when he was let go by Furness as a result of the economic downturn of 1873.

In 1873, Sullivan followed a wave of architects moving to Chicago in hope of finding work rebuilding the city after the destruction of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Sullivan left Chicago briefly in 1874 for Paris to study at the École des Beaux-Arts. He stayed in Paris for a year, returning to Chicago in June 1875.

Sullivan worked at various firms for a few years until he settled at Dankmar Adler's office in 1879. By 1881, Sullivan became a partner and the firm was renamed Adler and Sullivan, Architects. The partnership lasted for 14 years.

By 1894, Adler and Sullivan dissolved their partnership amid another financial downturn for the country. The years following the split from Adler, Sullivan only secured a few commissions. Prior to his death, Sullivan published two important books: The autobiography of an idea and A System of Architectural Ornament According with a Philosophy of Man's Powers .

Sullivan died in Chicago on April 14, 1924. In 1946, he was posthumously awarded the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal.

Series I: Frank Lloyd Wright collection of Louis Henry Sullivan drawings

This collection of 122 drawings by Louis Henry Sullivan (1856-1924) were given to Frank Lloyd Wright by Sullivan days before his death. Many of the drawings have been annotated by Wright. The bulk of these drawings date from 1883 to 1910, when Sullivan was a partner with Dankmar Adler in the architectural firm Adler and Sullivan. Avery Library purchased this collection in 1965 from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation with support from the Edgar Kaufmann Charitable Foundation.

Wright published 39 of the 122 drawings in this collection in the book Genius & Mobocracy (1949). The full collection was published in the 1979 Paul E. Sprague's The drawings of Louis Henry Sullivan: a catalog of the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection at the Avery Architectural Library (Princeton University Press). Sprague, an expert of Sullivan's ornament, dated, attributed and categorized the drawings. Sprague's work is the basis for Avery's description of the drawings.
