Tiffany Glass: Painting with Color and Light includes twenty Tiffany Studios leaded glass lamps, five large stained glass windows, hanging shades, and three forgeries modeled after Tiffany’s iconic lamp designs, all from The Neaustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass. For more information about the exhibition and The Neustadt Collection, check out the Woodson Art Museum’s free app and videos on our Youtube Channel. Two exhibitions from the Woodson Art Museum’s glass collection juxtapose the intricate, feminine designs of the Victorian Era with the more modern and restrained aesthetics of the Art Nouveau period. Enduring Beauty: Art Nouveau Glass features bold iridescent glass in sleek undulating forms typical of the decorative, yet utilitarian, turn-of-the-twentieth-century glassware. Victorian Art Glass Baskets also from the Art Museum’s collection, feature bright colors “woven” throughout delicate glass reminiscent of frills on tutus and unfurling flower petals.

  • Louis Comfort Tiffany's Legacy in Nassau County
    Previously published in The Nassau County Historical Society Journal. Revised and modified in July 2010 for website publication at www.spinzialongislandestates.com Please cite as: Spinzia, Judith Ader “Louis Comfort Tiffany’s Legacy in Nassau County. The Nassau County Historical Society Journal 1991:8-17. Artistry in Glass; Louis Comfort Tiffany’s Legacy in Nassau County by Judith Ader Spinzia . Louis Comfort Tiffany was born in New York City to Charles Lewis and Harriet Young Tiffany on February 18, 1848. His father, a founding partner of Tiffany and Young, formed Tiffany and Company in 1853, when Louis was only five years old, and it is the success of the jewelry firm that gave Louis educational opportunity at Flushing Academy on Long Island and Eagleswood Military Academy in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. However, at the age of seventeen he persuaded his father to allow him to discontinue formal education and permit him to study painting instead. The exotic art of Europe and the Orient, which decorated his home and his father’s store, came to life when his father allowed him to tour Europe in 1865-66. Upon returning from the “Grand Tour” in 1866, he studied with George Inness. Tiffany began to paint in the style of the Barbizon School, which Inness represented. Life and landscapes were objectively portrayed, embellished only by his sense of their reality. Light and shadow were carefully expressed. His paintings, at this early stage of his career, show him to be a devout disciple of this school of painting and the activity of this period of his life greatly influenced his subject matter, technique, and fascination with light – a fascination that is easily traced throughout his career, even to the latest commissions.

  • Louis Comfort Tiffany: Treasures from the Driehaus Collection
    Louis Comfort Tiffany: Treasures from the Driehaus Collection Introduction One of America’s most celebrated artists, Louis Comfort Tiffany worked in nearly all media available to artists and designers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries—glass, ceramic, metalwork, jewelry, painting, furniture, and interiors. He earned international acclaim for his artistic output, receiving prestigious awards in exhibitions in Europe and the United States. His work was enthusiastically acquired by art museums through- out his lifetime, and continues to be highly sought after today. In September 2013, the Richard H. Driehaus Museum debuts its inaugural exhibition, Louis Comfort Tiffany: Treasures from the Driehaus Collection. Sixty objects will be on view in a magnificent historic setting, representing this extraordinary artist’s work over his prolific 50-year career with the Tiffany Glass & Decorating Company and Tiffany Studios, among his many other interrelated firms. The exhibition also introduces audiences to Tiffany artworks from the distinguished Driehaus Collection, representing the unique collecting vision of Chicago philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus over the course of several decades. Situated in the fully restored Gilded Age mansion designed by the architectural firm of Burling & Whitehouse in 1879 for prominent Chicago banker Samuel M. Nickerson, Tiffany’s masterpieces are placed within the larger context of late 19th-century interiors. The exhibition includes outstanding examples of Tiffany lamps, Favrile glass, stained-glass windows, ceramics, metalwork, and furniture from the Driehaus Collection, displayed together publicly for the first time. Garden Landscape window, 1900–1910 Leaded glass 37 x 65½ x 5½ in. (94 x 166.4 x 14 cm), Acc.
