Frank Lloyd Wright Midway Garden Sprite - retailer 3D Printed

"Sprite" was originally part of a large sculpture program for Wright's Midway Gardens in Chicago. Built for Edward C. Waller Jr. and Oscar Friedman in 1914, the complex was designed as an entertainment center. Interior and exterior areas provided for dining, dancing, and concerts, but the complex declined into a common beer garden within two years of its opening. With the advent of Prohibition in 1920, it was converted for other uses; in 1929, it was demolished. Iannelli was noted for his poster designs as well as for his architectural and decorative sculpture. Strongly tectonic, the figure is composed of motifs commonly found in Wright's architectural ornament. The faceting of the face is closely tied to Cubism, a movement that had gained international influence by 1914.


This 3D printed rendering is done in a marble PLA plastic. It is not suitable to be placed outside as PLA can warp in direct sunlight and degrade over time. Some minor printing artifacts may be visible on retailer the back, but every effort is made in post processing to minimize this.


Due to this being a large 3D print, expect a 5 - 7 day lead time to print, post process and ship to you.
