Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer (1930–2017) became Frank Lloyd Wright’s
apprentice at the Taliesin Fellowship, until he attended the École
Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1958, he returned to continue
his apprenticeship with Wright until his death in 1959. Pfeiffer
established the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives, where he
catalogued the collections of Wright’s drawings, manuscripts,
letters, and other documents. He was also the author of numerous
publications on Wright’s life and work.
Peter Gössel runs an agency for museum and exhibition design. He
has published TASCHEN monographs on Julius Shulman, R. M.
Schindler, John Lautner, and Richard Neutra, as well as several
titles in the Basic Architecture series.
“Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer is our era’s pre-eminent Wright specialist,
having begun his career as Wright’s apprentice. Now archives
director at Taliesin West, he has access to hundreds of thousands
of documents, allowing this monograph to be a masterful summation
of FLW’s long career. There is more than enough here to make this
the ultimate compact work on a definitive character in
architectural history.”

genius from A to Z...this volume tells the story of both a life and
a genre of expression."
