Lecture: Taliesin East and West

February 24, 2015

Lecture by Sean Malone
Tuesday, February 24, 2015 • Lecture: 7:00 p.m.
Eagle Rock Center for the Arts/Carnegie Library
2225 Colorado Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90041

Built on land whose beauty would inspire Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural philosophy, Taliesin (1911) is perhaps the most personal of Wright’s works. Taliesin served as Wright’s main residence and the summer home of the Taliesin Fellowship until 1937, when Wright built his oasis in the Arizona desert, Taliesin West, to serve as his winter residence.

Join us as we look at these two Wright masterworks, Taliesin East and West, and discuss their relationship to the unique natural environments in which they were built, the distinct design elements that are their hallmarks, the culture that thrived at each site and the journey to restore these masterpieces.

About the Lecturer: Sean Malone is President and CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. During Malone’s tenure, the Foundation has performed such mission-critical work as establishing a joint stewardship of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives between the Foundation, the Museum of Modern Art, and Columbia University’s Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library; an in-depth Preservation Master Plan program to define how Taliesin West will be preserved for generations to come; and much more.

About the Venue: Built in 1914 as the the Carnegie Library, the Eagle Rock Center for the Arts/Carnegie Library was originally one of 142 public libraries built from 121 grants (totaling $2,779,487) awarded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York from 1899 to 1917. The original Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival structure, with an enclosed arcade, was designed by W. E. Kleinpell and is currently the Eagle Rock Community Cultural Center, run by a partnership between the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department and the Eagle Rock Community Cultural Association.
