Description
We all know Tiffany’s—they of the robin’s egg blue box—but how many people understand that there were two Tiffanys, father and son, whose businesses were separate but entwined? The firms of Father (Charles Lewis) and son (Louis Comfort) exhibited side by side at the World’s Fair of 1900 in Paris. At his father’s death, Louis Comfort Tiffany took the artistic helm of his father’s firm. This lecture will focus on glass: the medium Tiffany Studios is best-known for today: Tiffany’s experiments in the medium, his favrile glass, his windows, his lamps and his reputation.
