Style/Object Description

For Midway Gardens in Chicago (1913;
demolished 1929), a fashionable entertainment complex, Wright
created a magical combination of architecture, furniture,
sculpture and murals. In collaboration with the sculptor,
Alfonso Iannelli, a series of "Sprite" sculptures were created;
dozens were cast to adorn walls and walkways. This "Sprite
Holding Two Cubes" is representative of one of three that
adorned the Gardens. Made of hand-cast resin and recommended for
indoor use only
