Description

Wright cuts a check to a Taliesin Fellowship apprentice

Architect; master of space, form and human-centered design. Wright-designed business check for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, 8.25 x 3.25, filled out in type and signed by Wright, payable to Curtis Besinger for $30.00, March 1, 1954. Light show-through from piece of tape to top edge of reverse, bisecting vertical fold and cancellation holes lightly affecting first name of signature, otherwise fine condition. Besinger was on of Wright's former apprentices at the Taliesin Fellowship. An apprenticeship with the Fellowship entailed architectural tasks, such as drafting, designing, and overseeing projects, including the actual building of Taliesin West; as well as humbler assignments - from milking the cows to harvesting wheat - related to maintaining the farm that surrounds the Fellowship in Wisconsin. Wright’s signature is bold and prominent. LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
