Frank Lloyd Wright research materials
Series 4: Exhibitions, Auctions, and Dealers
Documentation in the Exhibitions, Auctions, and Dealers series relates to the exhibition of and trade in Frank Lloyd Wright drawings, books, memorabilia, and ephemera from 1940 to the mid-1990s. Most folders contain programs, catalogs, and sales brochures. These publications were often sources of information that Geiger entered into his comprehensive database inventory of Frank Lloyd Wright project drawings. In addition, Geiger consulted with dealers about selling items from his own library and collection of Wrightiana. He also retained promotional materials related to significant scholarly publications of Wright drawings. Some of the files contain useful references to rare Wright objects, books, ephemera, or other memorabilia.
