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.
