GALLERY UPDATE

Selected Works of Louis Comfort Tiffany

July 20, 2010

This summer, the Museum’s comprehensive Tiffany exhibition will be updated with objects that include a large leaded-glass hanging lamp and two major windows made for exhibition that have not been on view in five years. The cone-shaped Dogwood hanging shade, c. 1900, measuring 28 inches in diameter, further represents the variety and skill of Tiffany’s lampmaking enterprise. The two windows show diverse styles. The Medallion window, c.1892, is based on medieval church windows that inspired the artist on visits to France; the Rose window, 1906, reflects 18th-century French Rococo design with its central cruciform, four symmetrical quarters, and elaborate scrollwork.
