May Basket Art Glass Sculpture by Frank Lloyd Wright
Inspired by the design of Frank Lloyd Wright we offer the May Basket art glass on wood base stand display sculpture. In the winter of 1926-27, Liberty magazine commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a series of cover designs, one for each month of the year. These drawings, the pinnacle of his imaginative graphic designs, were rejected: deemed too "radical" by the publisher. For the month of May, Wright created a stylized version of a May Basket. The complex cluster of geometric shapes represented fruits, flowers, and streamers of ribbon for the celebration of the spring. Frank Lloyd Wright is considered the most influential architect of the 20th century, a visionary whose ideas were well ahead of his time. Wright's creative designs presented a bold challenge to familiar habits. Today his influence is worldwide.
