Since his death in 1959, models, correspondence, sketches, and photos by Frank Lloyd Wright have been in storage at his headquarters. Now, they're on the move to New York, to be displayed and preserved. In a partnership, the Museum of Modern Art will house the models and Columbia University's Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library will preserve the papers. The collection includes drawings for Wright's Fallingwater and models for the unrealized St. Mark's Tower.
In other news, Etsy offers gift cards starting this fall and there's a (naked) lady in them thar hills. See the headlines after the jump.

I must see these. Nice excuse to visit new York!!! :)
It's great that so many people will get to see the exhibit, however, Wright was such a Western architect, using the open land as inspiration for his designs. I somehow feel it will get lost in translation when viewed from the confines of a city.
NYC is a weird place for his archives. I seem to remember him disliking New York. Chicago would be more logical, or one of the Taliesins in Wisconsin or Arizona.
I have a weakness for architectural models and an obsession with FLW. This sounds like heaven in an exhibit.
