Edgar Kaufmann Jr. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Edgar Kaufmann Jr. (April 9, 1910 – July 31, 1989) was an American architect, lecturer, author, and an adjunct professor of architecture and art history at Columbia University. He was the son of Edgar J. Kaufmann, a wealthy Pittsburgh businessman and philanthropist who owned Kaufmann’s department store, and his wife Liliane. Kaufmann Jr. attended the School for Arts and Crafts at the Austrian Museum of Applied Art in Vienna, in the late 1920s. He studied painting and typography for three years with Victor Hammer in Florence. After reading Frank Lloyd Wright’s autobiography, Kaufmann decided to become a resident apprentice in architecture at Wright’s Taliesin East School and Studio from 1933 to 1934. According to fallingwater.org, he was particular about spelling his name “Edgar Kaufmann jr.” When he left Wright’s Taliesin Fellowship in 1935, he joined the family business and became merchandise manager for home furnishings, and in 1938, was elected secretary of the Kaufmann Department Stores, Inc. In 1940, Edgar wrote to Alfred Barr of the Museum of Modern Art, proposing the Organic Design in Home Furnishings Competition, won by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen. That same year, he left Kaufmann’s to join the Museum of Modern Art. He served with the Army Air Forces from 1942 to 1946 during World War II. Afterwards, he was director of the Industrial Design Department at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City. Edgar’s greatest accomplishment during his tenure at MOMA was the ‘Good Design’ program of 1950 to 1955, in which the museum joined with the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, promoting good design in household objects and furnishings. From 1963 to 1986, Kaufmann was an adjunct professor of Architecture and Art History at Columbia University. He authored several books on Wright architecture and modern design, and was a contributor to Arts + Architecture journal and Encyclopædia Britannica. Fallingwater Kaufmann strongly supported his father’s decision to commission Frank Lloyd Wright for the famous 1936 Fallingwater house over Bear Run, in Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. After his father’s death in 1955, Kaufmann inherited the Fallingwater house, continuing to use and share it as a mountain retreat until 1963. Then, he entrusted the Wright structures and several hundred acres of the surrounding pristine Laurel Highlands lands in the Allegheny Mountains to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy as an architectural house museum and conservation open space preserve, in memory of his parents. A rescue from an estate in far Northern Michigan… 072021 General Philosophy & Background: The items I am posting to ebay are largely items pulled from the basement or the garage – interesting vintage/estate items that were too nice to trash or give to a rummage sale. I want/hope they find new homes with appreciative owners/collectors. My philosophy is somewhat old school – to offer with low openings bids and generally no reserve. While I know something about a number of areas of collectibles I am a generalist and by no means an expert in books, silver, ceramics, comic books and so forth. So while I try to describe them in some detail and provide representative photos you will not see them with specific condition grades. Photos are always of the actual item offered in the auction. Most of these items are used, vintage, so some wear is to be expected. Again, if I can detect any specific damage or repairs I will note them; my tendency is to emphasize negative condition issues. If you are a successful bidder and believe that the item is not as represented, let me know within 14 days, I will take it back and refund your money. Terms & Conditions Terms: All items guaranteed as represented or money refunded if item is returned within 14 days in the same condition. Payment: PayPal is preferred (payment must clear before the item will be shipped). Payment is expected within 7 days. Please email me with any questions. Shipping: I prefer using the US Postal System – Priority Mail or Media Mail on books. See item description for calculating cost. Multiple purchases may be shipped together for savings. For very small or light-weight items (or very heavy), non-priority may be investigated as alternatives. International shipping only with prior approval. (I do not view/establish packing and shipping as my profit center. Most of the time I will recycle boxes and packing material so that the cost of packing can be $1-3 – and the postage will be a pass thru cost (i.e., determined by the weight and distance). If an item is considered to be of great value or particularly fragile, the cost of insurance can be added as well (responsibility of the purchaser).
