Exhibit: In Her Own
Right: Marion Mahony Griffin - Charles H. MacNider Art
Museum(Kinney-Lindstrom Gallery), 303 2nd St. SE (641-421-3666). Marion Mahony Griffin (1871-1961) was one of America’s
first woman architects, a Chicagoan also known as a skilled artist,
environmentalist, and community activist. A central contributor to the Prairie
School of Architecture, her drawings of the Unity Temple and many other
projects introduced Frank Lloyd Wright’s early work to the world. Mahony
Griffin was the first registered woman architect in Illinois who became a
pioneer in architecture and community planning. A key member of Wright’s Oak
Park Studio for 15 years, she and husband Walter Burley Griffin won the
international design competition for Canberra, Australia’s national capital.
This exhibition traces her early life, her personal and professional
partnership with Griffin on three continents, the final years of her life in
Chicago—and sheds light on the work and legacy of a Chicagoan of immense but
often overlooked importance. Exhibit will be on display until August 16, 2017. https://macniderart.org/
