Frank Lloyd Wright Neckties
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT - 1867-1959 is recognized as the 20th century's greatest architect. His buildings as well as his other commissions represent some of the world's most important architectural and design treasures. During his more than 70-year career, Wright created nearly 800 works, including his famous Prairie houses, Usonian buildings, offices and resorts, churches and temples, and finally, an art museum. In his art, Frank Lloyd Wright transformed the materials of nature into forms and spaces idealized by the human mind - creating things nearly divine. Born of the intimate beauty of Wright's decorative details, the Frank Lloyd Wright® Neckwear Collections seek to convey Wright's monumental vision of the human spirit. These Frank Lloyd Wright® Collection products are authorized by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Taliesin West, Scottsdale, Arizona. A portion of the sales of these ties supports the conservation and education programs of the foundation. | ||||
Ties are 57" long and 3 3/4" wide unless otherwize noted. In ties designated as "woven" the design develops in the weaving process instead of being printed on the surface. | ||||

Rather than applying ornament to a surface, Wright incorporated it into the structure itself. Cast concrete lent itself perfectly to this task. Frieze Tile (1950), Open Block (1924) and Shadow Blocks (1923) are based on Wright's cast concrete block designs. He wrote in 1923 "The concrete block? chicago The cheapest (and ugliest) thing in the building world. Why not see what could be done with that gutter-rot? It might be permanent, noble, beautiful. We would take that despised outcast of the building industry (and) find a hiterto unsuspected soul to it, make it live as a thing of beauty, textured like the trees." | ||||

All ties are new and purchased from the manufacturer except for ties with "Collector" in the title. Only these "Collector" ties have been gently used by a previous owner. Many of my customers collect ties in specific themes and I help them find treasures. Some ties were given as gifts to the wrong person and get passed on without even being worn. Other ties might have been chosen for a specific occasion and rarely worn again. Consider these ties for a nice price on a beautiful tie that is no longer being printed. There are no flaws or stains and any tie can be returned if you are not pleased. Seconds are new and unworn but may have slight misalignments during the printing process. | ||||
