Window

Frank Lloyd Wright, Linden Glass Company

1903

This window was originally made for the Joseph Jacob Walser house in Chicago, Illinois in 1903. The Walser house is one of Wright’s earliest examples of Prairie-style architecture. As with all of his residential work, this house was designed with the philosophy that a house needed to have a harmonious relationship with its site. The asymmetrical design of the house deceives the eye compensating for the narrowness of the lot.

Birmingham Persian Wall is a site-specific installation of twenty-one vessels—some over three feet in diameter—that cluster on four adjacent walls in the museum's lobby. Each unit, in a rich shade of yellow, orange or blue, bears a rippling pattern that is clear or in a contrasting color. The vessels, each attached to a cylindrical metal post, float about five inches off the wall.
