Frank Lloyd Wright Lamp Shatters Records with $7.5M Sale!

Frank Lloyd Wright, renowned for his architectural prowess and the mastermind behind Scottsdale’s iconic Taliesin West, made headlines last week as a historic lamp designed by him fetched an astonishing $7.5 million. This record-breaking sale took place during a Sotheby’s auction on May 13.

The lamp, standing a century and two decades old, shattered previous auction records for Wright-designed items. The former record was held by a ceiling light from the Francis W. Little House, which now pales in comparison to this recent sale.

While the identity of the buyer remains undisclosed, this event underscores Wright’s enduring legacy and the increasing value placed on his works within the art and design markets. Collectors continue to drive competition for unique pieces associated with this legendary architect.

This remarkable sale not only highlights the lamp’s historical significance but also elevates Wright’s status in the contemporary art scene.
