The Art of Hobson Dental Associates

INTERESTING ART AND COLLECTIBLES AT HOBSON

Dr. DeWeirdt has collected numerous art and collectible items related to dentistry and Frank Lloyd Wright in particular. Many pieces are museum quality or one of a kind items and are for the enjoyment of his patients. The collection consists of prints, lithographs, original water colors, photographs, cartoon cells, posters, and wall plaques.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT RELATED ITEMS

Babson House Panel (Reproduction)
This terra cotta panel is from the Henry Babson house (1907) located in Riverside, IL


Garrick Theater Panel (Reproduction)
Designed by FLW and Louis Sullivan in 1892. This decorative motif adorned the balcony of the theater. The Garrick Theatre was demolished in 1962


Stork Panel (Reproduction)
The stork panel (1897) is the primary design element of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, IL. The stork represents fertility and good luck.


The smaller stork panels decorate each treatment room along with a reproduction wallpaper border from the Tokyo Imperial Hotel. The hotel was destroyed by fire in 1945. The small stork panels are not available commercially and were reproduced with permission from the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio. The wallpaper is also a FLW design from the Imperial Hotel.


Original Art Glass Panels
There are 10 custom stained glass panels throughout the office. These panels feature elements common to many FLW stained glass panels. The common themes are the wheat sheaf and flowers. The horizontal elements are from the Robie House.


Original Watercolors
This original watercolor of the GreenRidge Professional Building hangs in the waiting area. These watercolors were painted by our friend, architect, and artist Robert Litvan.
