The Esherick house stands as one of the most important houses realized by Kahn throughout his luminous career, and is the first residence to illustrate his mature architectural ideals. As one of the greatest architects of the 20th century, Kahn created a distinct style that was rigorous yet transcendent, geometric yet sensuous.

The house will be offered as a single lot Wright’s Important Design sale on May 18, 2008 at 1pm CST
in Chicago.

With an estimate of $2–3 million, the Esherick House is a true collectible work of art: smart, conceptual, serene, and transcending.
