The focus of Frederick Kiesler: Endless is on Kiesler’s vision of a biomorphic, freely flowing, continuous, human-centered living space, which he called the Endless House. To Kiesler, this Endless House was to synthesize painting, sculpture, architecture, and the environment to establish a space, which was without a sense of boundaries. Kiesler began to explore this new kind of an “endless” architectural space as early as 1922 and continued to develop this theme in his architectural designs and sculptures until the end of his life. Frederick Kiesler: Endless will feature several sculptural works by Kiesler, including three Endless House Models.

Describing his idea of the house, Kiesler stated that it was to be “endless like the human body-there is no beginning and no end.” In his review of Frederick Kiesler’s retrospective at the Whitney Museum in 1989, Michael Kimmelman explained: “[Kiesler] spent some four decades evolving a scheme for the home that was never to be realized but that synthesized Mr. Kiesler’s ideas about the connections between art and design. A cocoonlike structure to be made from reinforced concrete and wire mesh, ’’The Endless House’’ was to have included bathing pools, floors of sand and grass and terra-cotta tile.” In fact, the Endless House was to be more than a living space – it was a space for meditation and a place, where one was able to find one’s truest self.
