A while back, I alerted CultureGrrl readers to a PBS documentary, scheduled for 10 p.m. tonight, on “Frank Lloyd Wright‘s Buffalo.” Here’s the program description, which made me feel it was worth watching:
David Ogden Stiers narrates this look at the friendship between architect Frank Lloyd Wright and Buffalo businessman Darwin D. Martin and how it benefited Buffalo. Included: insights from Harvard professor of architecture Neil Levine; New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger; Wright biographer Meryle Secrest; Wright’s grandson Eric Lloyd Wright; and Martin’s grandchildren.
Only problem is…this documentary, with all the right Wright experts, is not on regular PBS stations; it’s on the network’s digital channel. There’s not even a listing for it in my local newspaper, and I don’t think it will air on my low-tech tube.
Oh well, we’ll just have to settle for Ronald Lauder (whom I also discuss here, here and here), tonight on Charlie Rose.
