Bruce Goff: A Creative Mind
Oct. 9 - Jan. 2
Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art
Renowned architect Bruce Goff was born in 1904 in Kansas but came to Oklahoma with his family at the age of 2. He was just 12 when a Tulsa architectural firm took him on as an apprentice in 1916. He completed his first design project at 15. Goff had no formal education beyond high school, but was widely recognized for his creative genius and, along with Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan, he is considered among the pioneers of the organic design movement. All the projects selected for this exhibition were never realized or have been demolished, with the exception of the Bavinger House.
