'Falling Water House' Oil on Canvas 100 x 70 cm (Sold)
This oil painting is an interpretation of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright's famous villa. The 1935 house is located in the Laurel Highlands in southwestern Pennsylvania. It is partly built over a waterfall. The house was designed as a weekend retreat for Liliane and Edgar J. Kaufmann, the owners of the Kaufmann department store in Pittsburgh.
Upon its completion, Time called Fallingwater Wright's "most beautiful work" and it is included in Smithsonian's "Life List of 28 Places to See Before You Die." The house was designated a National Historic Landmark on May 11, 1976. In 1991, members of the American Institute of Architects called Fallingwater the "greatest work of American architecture of all time."
The house and seven other Wright structures were inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2019.
