Gurdjieff was in a car accident in August 1924 and decided to disband the group. He apparently encouraged Olgivanna to go to the United States to perhaps save her marriage (she and Vladimar had not lived together for years, and their daughter was in New Jersey at her brother's home). After a short while, Olgivanna felt that her marriage to Vladimar was over, so she went to Chicago, to perhaps persuade her friends to allow her teach their children the sacred dance (or "Movements", as they were known). While in Chicago in late November, 1924, she went to a Saturday matinee of dancer Tamara Karsavina, which was also attended by Frank Lloyd Wright. The two sat in the box seat at the matinee and began talking. According to architectural writer Walt Lockley, "The Foundation and the Fellowship would not exist in any form if Wright had not gone to the [ballet] with a friend one Sunday afternoon in 1924 Chicago and sat near to the dark-haired Montenegrin dancer." Wright wrote about this chance meeting in the 1943 edition of his autobiography:In a sentence or two she criticized Karsavina from our point of view, showing unusual familiarity with dancing and dancers. No longer quite so strange, the emissary of Fate, mercy on my soul, from the other side of the known world, bowed her head to my invitation to tea at the nearby Congress. She accepted with perfect ease without artificial hesitation. I was in love with her. It was as simple as that. The two quickly initiated a romantic relationship. She and her daughter came to live at Wright's home, Taliesin in Wisconsin, and Olgivanna became pregnant with their daughter, Iovanna, by February 1925. In April of 1925, a major fire due to electrical problems destroyed Taliesin's living quarters. The end of 1925 also brought problems for the two as Wright's estranged second wife began a vindictive campaign to deny Wright the ability to divorce her, which he was not able to do until 1927 (Olgivanna and her first husband had divorced years before). Wright and Olgivanna married August 1928 in Rancho Santa Fe, California, and honeymooned in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1932, the two initiated the Taliesin Fellowship, an architectural apprentice program. Former apprentice Edgar Tafel described Olgivanna's influence on the Taliesin Fellowship in his book, "Apprentice to Genius: Years With Frank Lloyd Wright".
