Frederick Kiesler: Co-Realities

Considered “the best-known non-building architect of our time” by Philip Johnson, Austro-American Frederick Kiesler was also a designer, artist, and theoretician. Accompanying the exhibition Frederick Kiesler: Co-Realities, this publication traces Kiesler’s interest in the expressive and conceptual possibilities of drawing through key projects and concepts from the 1930s to the 1960s, from his early work as a scenic designer to his revolutionary designs for Peggy Guggenheim’s Art of the Century Gallery, and his decades long investigation into the unique structure of his Endless House. Scholarly essays provide insight into Kiesler’s use of drawing within his interdisciplinary practice.
