The Museum of Modern Art,Columbia University and The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundationhave announced that the vast archives of American architectFrank Lloyd Wright(1867-1959) have been jointly acquired by the University and the Museum and will become part of their permanent collections. The archive, which includes some 23,000 architectural drawings, 44,000 historical photographs, large-scale models, manuscripts, extensive correspondence and other documents, has remained in storage at Wright’s former headquarters – Taliesin (Spring Green, WI) andTaliesin West(Scottsdale, AZ) – since his death. Moving the archives to New York will maximize the visibility and research value of the collection for generations of scholars, students and the public.
现代艺术博物馆,哥伦比亚大学,弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会宣布美国建筑师弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特(1867-1959)大量的档案资料将会被哥伦比亚大学和现代艺术博物馆联合收购,并作为他们永久收藏品的一部分。这些档案资料包括了23,000份建筑图纸,44,000张历史照片,大规模的模型手稿和大量的通信文件以及其他一些文件。这些文件自从赖特去世后原本一直收藏在赖特的前总部塔利辛和西塔里埃森。将这些档案资料转移到纽约将会扩大这些藏品的知名度,同时方便学者,学生和公众对于这些藏品的研究。
“The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation takes seriously its responsibility to serve the public good by ensuring the best possible conservation, accessibility, and impact of one of the most important and meaningful archives in the world,” said Sean Malone, CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. “Given the individual strengths, resources and abilities of the Foundation, MoMA and Columbia, it became clear that this collaborative stewardship is far and away the best way to guarantee the deepest impact, the highest level of conservation and the best public access.”
“弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会认真履行了他们服务于公众的职责。确保对这些资料最好的保护,可获取性,以及作为世界上最重要且最有意义的档案资料之一对于整个社会的影响。” 弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会执行总裁Sean Malone说,“由于基金会,现代艺术博物馆和哥伦比亚大学各自的优势,资源和能力,很明显这种协作管理的模式从长远来看是确保影响最深,最高级别保护的最好方式,同时也是与大众接触的最好方式。

“At Avery, Wright’s rich legacy of archival materials joins the great historic architects whose works are preserved here — from Sebastiano Serlio to Piranesi, and to other key 20th century American figures,” said Carole Ann Fabian, director of Columbia’s Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library. “Wright’s archives will receive the fullest exposure for research-intensive interrogation as well as ongoing opportunities for students,scholars and the interested public to engage with these materials in exhibition, public programs and teaching experiences.”
“在艾弗里,赖特遗产中丰富档案资料将会加入到那些伟大且具有历史意义的建筑师当中,他们的作品也被保存在这里,从Sebastiano Serlio(意大利著名建筑师,建造了枫丹白露宫的一部分-译者注)到Piranesi,以及其他的二十世纪重要的美国人物。”哥伦比亚艾弗里建筑与美术艺术图书馆主任,Carole Ann Fabian说,“赖特的档案资料将会最大程度为密集型研究开放,并且持续的对学生,学者以对于展览中的材料感兴趣的公众开放,同时组织公共活动和教学。”

The Museum of Modern Art will house all three-dimensional works, including architectural models, architectural elements and design prototypes.

“Bringing the archives of Frank Lloyd Wright to MoMA and Columbia University is extraordinary,” said Glenn D.Lowry, Director of The Museum of Modern Art. “It places one of the most important bodies of work of a major architect in a central location in New York, and will be transformative for both institutions.”

“At MoMA, Frank Lloyd Wright’s work will be in conversation with great modern artists and architects such asPicasso, Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier,” said Barry Bergdoll, the Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design at MoMA and professor in the Art History and Archeology Department at Columbia. “This collaboration provides opportunities to reposition Wright as a key figure in the larger development of modern art and architecture, after decades of scholarship that have often emphasized his lone genius and his unique Americanness. A new chapter in appreciating Wright is opened by this new setting for his legacy.”
