Insufficient Funds: The Financial Life of Frank Lloyd Wright

This new book about Frank Lloyd Wright explores the business practices and financial life of the famous American architect. Wright was a spendthrift who earned a considerable fortune over his lifetime, but he was a man who never had sufficient funds to meet his expenses. More often, his lack of financial stability was because he had an insatiable need to spend money on Japanese art, pianos, cars, and other assorted luxury items.

The material included in this book comes from a wide variety of sources, including correspondence between Mr. Wright and his clients, conversations and anecdotes that have been included in many published works about the architect's life, as well as original material, including archival records and interviews with his relatives, homeowners, apprentices, former students, and his Spring Green, Wisconsin neighbors.
