Latest News: Library of Congress, National Park Service Announce 2024 Holland Prize Winner

Library of Congress, National Park Service Announce 2024 Holland Prize Winner The Library of Congress and the National Park Service announced today that the 2024 Leicester B. Holland Prize will be presented to architectural designer Laura Pressley for a drawing of the Wainwright Tomb at Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri, designed by the noted early American modernist architect, Louis Sullivan. Considered one of Sullivan's masterpieces, the Wainwright Tomb (1893) is a St. Louis landmark. It has been described as a powerful work of early American modernist architecture, praised for its bold geometry and elaborate organic-inspired ornamentation. As such, its design has been juxtaposed to the 19th century romantic garden-inspired tombs found in Bellefontaine Cemetery, established in 1850 at the height of the American Rural Cemetery movement. It was the last of three tombs designed by Louis Sullivan. He also designed the Carrie Eliza Getty Tomb (1890), and the Martin Ryerson Tomb (1887), both located in the Graceland Cemetery in Chicago.   Click here for more information.   Stay Connected with the Library LOC.gov  |  Accessibility  |  Legal  |  Inspector General  |  External Link Disclaimer USA.gov  |  Contact  |  Careers  |  Media  |  Shop  |  Donate Subscriber Preferences & Unsubscribe  |  Subscriber Help   This email was sent to stevenmagallanes520.nims@blogger.com using GovDelivery Communications Cloud on behalf of: Library of Congress · 101 Independence Ave, SE · Washington, DC 20540 · 202-707-5000
