Frank Lloyd Wright established early success with a series of Midwestern architectural projects that defined American architecture for the modern era. As a means to disseminate his work, Wright and Berlin publisher Ernst Wasmuth issued Ausgeführte Bauten und Entwürfe von Frank Lloyd Wright (Executed Buildings and Studies of Frank Lloyd Wright), a portfolio of 100 illustrations known today simply as The Wasmuth Portfolio. This publication served as an inspiration for European and American architects in the decades to follow.

Gifted 1991 by George E. Handley to the Denver Art Museum.
