EXECUTIVE GIFT - Frank
Lloyd Wright Collection™
City by the Sea
City by
the Sea was originally painted as a mural in the Midway Gardens.
Commissioned by Edward Waller, Jr. to be built as an entertainment center
in Chicago, the Midway Gardens provided Wright with an opportunity to
design an elaborate complex including indoor ballrooms, outdoor
restaurants, trellises, balconies and sunken gardens. The opening of the
Gardens in August 1914 was the social event of the decade. Unfortunately,
World War I and Prohibition followed, leading to the eventual failure of
the Gardens, which was demolished in 1929.
Demonstrating Wright’s
preference for "pure, bright color," City by the Sea
evokes perfectly shaped balloons bouncing across an ocean of confetti. City
by the Sea is a complex composition of juxtaposed shapes and vibrant
colors, a celebration of the distinctive
characteristics of 20th century modern art.
