About the Exhibition
Frank Lloyd Wright: Modern Chair Design examines Wright’s lesser-known but deeply thoughtful approach to furniture. Through original pieces, models, drawings, and new scholarship, the exhibition reveals how Wright used chair design to articulate ideas about structure, spatial rhythm, and modern life.

He holds a degree in Art History from Harvard University, an MArch from SCI-Arc and is currently pursuing a mid-career PhD at the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at UW-Milwaukee. He is Board President of the Wisconsin chapter of Docomomo-US and is working on a book entitled Milwaukee Moderns.

Tickets: $20 per person (does not include MOWA admission).
