    Description

    Frank Lloyd Wright (American, 1867-1959)
    Fireplace from Price Tower, 1956
    Copper, steel, wood
    93-1/2 x 45-1/2 x 15-1/2 inches (237.5 x 115.6 x 39.4 cm)

    PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF PRICE TOWER ARTS CENTER, BARTLESVILLE, OKLAHOMA

    Price Tower was designed for commercial and residential use, and the building has always contained living spaces aside from the office space. Seven apartments, including Bruce Goff's residence and studio, were designed with copper fireplace heaters. The sculpted relief of the fireplace echoes the design of the copper panels present on the exterior of the building, which were used above the fireplace on the wall of the second floor bedroom loft as well (see lot 67049). The present lot is the first complete fireplace to be offered at auction.

    Condition Report*: Separated into two components, with wood support beam separated from one facing panel and subsequent bend to corner of same, and plaster residues, oxidation, and verdigris throughout.
