Frederick Kiesler Foundation

In the final years of his life, the artist and architect Frederick Kiesler worked on a collection of diary-like notes, anecdotes, travelogues, and poems, along with his reflections on architecture and art. Due to Kiesler's death in December 1965, the book project remained unfinished and was posthumously published by his widow Lillian Kiesler under the title ‘Inside the Endless House. Art, People and Architecture. A Journal’. Kiesler himself had chosen the working title ‘The Endless Search’. The exhibition follows this idea and takes visitors on an ‘endless search’ or rather an endless journey through visionary architectural projects, stage designs, the Galaxy sculptures, portrait drawings, and to the collaborators who shaped Kiesler’s artistic network in New York. Drawing from the archive’s great diversity, the exhibition showcases a variety of objects in different media, including diaries, small models, and glass plate slides that have rarely or never been displayed before.
