exhibit of the work of Louis Sullivan, the architect who was Frank Lloyd Wright's teacher. Photographs, models, drawings, and bits of detail from his buildings. These bits were really the best things he did. Sullivan used ornament, and had a highly individual and very fine style of ornamentation. He designed every detail, down to elevator grilles, doorknobs, and the like. In a Sullivan building you find the work of The Master (as Wright called him) whenever you look.

That will have to be all for now.
