In the final years of his life, artist-architect Frederick Kiesler worked on a collection of diary-like notes, anecdotes, and travel reports, complemented by poems and 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 picks up on these ideas and takes the visitors on an “endless search”—or rather, an endless journey through Kiesler’s architecture and art, as well as to the companions who shaped his artistic network in New York.

Selected projects are presented through exemplary objects—from his most famous works, such as the Endless House, to his stage designs for the Juilliard School of Music, the Galaxy sculptures, and portrait drawings of his friends.
The exhibition also highlights the rich diversity of the Frederick Kiesler Foundation’s archive, encompassing a wide range of media types—including glass plate slides, diaries, small models, drawings, and personal documents, many of which have rarely or never been shown before.
