Eric Lloyd Wright

                                                                      

Buffalo recently hosted a visit from FLW's grandson Eric who is probably the most recognizable of his progeny; he visited Graycliff  He is the son of FLW's oldest son, Lloyd Wright, who was also a well known landscape architect and architect.  Eric worked with both his grandfather for eight years up until his passing and then with his father.  At his father's passing in 1978 he started his own practice.  He worked with both on a number of projects and assisted his grandfather on the Guggenheim Museum.  If there is such an entity as the FLW torchbearer it would seem to be him.  As a Taliesen apprentice he has a thorough background beyond the extent that most have. 

I uncovered a great video of him doing a presentation three years ago relating the work of his grandfather, father, and himself.  It is a long but great inside look into the work and thinking of FLW of the type that very few others could offer.  I offer it here for your pleasure.  (Make sure you view it when you have an uninterrupted hour.)
