Among his major accomplishments were several buildings, most notably, the Chicago Stock Exchange, built in 1893 at a time when Chicago hosted the World's Fair and became known on a more international scale. Sullivan guided the overall design of the project, working with his business partner Dankmer Adler, and they created a masterpiece of intricate detail from the floor to the ceiling, following Sullivan's concept of organic ornamentation. The trading room of the Stock Exchange was a particularly significant space, and Sullivan conceived of oil painted stencils to line the walls in order to give depth of color and space through use of complex Celtic revival patterns. The building was demolished in the 1970s and many of the works were salvaged and are today represented in important public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Art Institute, Chicago and the Seattle Art Museum among others. The largest of the stencils in this sale was formerly in the collection of the Art Institute. Other works from the collection include works from other remarkable Sullivan and Adler buildings, though the focal point, are rare works from the Chicago Stock Exchange, their most important achievement.

Dankmar Adler (1844-1900) & Louis Sullivan (1856-1924) for the Guaranty Building component of a hanging light fixture 2 1/2"dia x 5"...
Est: $600 - $800
Dankmar Adler (1844-1900) & Louis Sullivan (1856-1924) for the Guaranty Building component of a hanging light fixture Buffalo, New York, 1896 brass unmarked 2 1/2"dia x 5"h Catalog Note: Adler & Sullivan's very last project, the Guaranty Building, is one of the most prominent examples of their innovative designs for a turn-of-the-century skyscraper. The Guaranty Building was among the first high-rise structures to be erected in the city of Buffalo. Despite being an office building, the interior and exterior of the Guaranty Building were carefully adorned with intricate floral and geometric motifs, largely influenced by Arts & Crafts aesthetics. A local oil tycoon and commissioner of the Guaranty Building, Hascal L. Taylor, wanted it to be the "finest office building in the country." To fulfill Taylor's vision, Adler & Sullivan leveraged their architectural imagination and recent technical advances to make the Guaranty Building both functional and pleasing to the eye. After undergoing some modernization in the mid-20th century, the skyscraper survived a fire and two demolition attempts. In 1975, the Guaranty Building was designated a National Historic Landmark and a renovation campaign was launched in 1980 with the aid of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. In 2002, the law firm Hodgson Russ LLC acquired the Guaranty Building and undertook full-scale restoration prior to occupying the building with most of its staff in 2007.

Louis Sullivan (1856-1924) for the Peoples' Savings and Loan Association Bank Building drawing design for a plaster band in wood frieze Sidney, Ohio, 1917 paper, graphite signed with LHS monogram inscribed with dimensions image: 11 1/2"w x 7"h Provenance: Gift of Louis Sullivan to William C. Presto Purchased from Sylvia (Mrs. William) Presto, circa 1971 Acquired from the above by the present owner Collection of Wilbert and Marilyn Hasbrouck, Chicago, Illinois Literature: Twombly, Robert and Narciso G. Menocal, Louis Sullivan: The Poetry of Architecture, W. W. Norton & Company, 2000, p. 335 (illustrated). Catalog Note: If Frank Lloyd Wright popularized organic architecture, then Louis Sullivan was its progenitor. Despite only a five-year apprenticeship (1888-1993), Wright called Sullivan his "liebe Meister" ("beloved Master") for the rest of his life. The key precept Sullivan developed was that a building's essential nature could only be expressed through facade composition and organic ornamentation. In this extremely rare drawing — only a handful of Sullivan's sketches are in private hands — it is possible to observe the master's drafting process at work. In 1917, Sullivan designed the Peoples' Savings and Loan Association Bank Building in Sidney, Ohio. Here the rich detail of a plaster band in a wood frieze is intended to enliven and exist in harmony with structural components. The bank opened on May 31, 1918 and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. In retrospect, Sullivan considered this bank building the finest of his career.

Rectangular form, repeating ovals and circles horizontally pinned together with stamens attached diagonally to vertical supports throughout. 84"h. 31.25"w. Louis Sullivan is considered by many architectural scholars and historians to be the father of modern American architecture and may best be known as the father of the skyscraper. Sullivan drew much inspiration from nature, prevailing against the restrained revival style architecture most popular at the time. The Chicago Stock Exchange building embraces Sullivan's personal design philosophy and outlook for commercial buildings and are most akin to modern office buildings today. Sullivan's designs are not relegated to the Chicago landscape - masterpieces include The Wainwright Building and The Wainwright Tomb of St. Louis, Missouri.
