One of America’s most renowned artists, Louis Comfort Tiffany worked in nearly all media available to artists and designers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – glass, ceramic, metalwork, jewelry and painting. Tiffany’s technical brilliance in a wide variety of media enabled him to convey his awe of the natural world through a range of objects, from common household items to one-of-a-kind masterpieces. He earned international acclaim for his artistic output, receiving prestigious awards in exhibitions across Europe and the United States. His work was enthusiastically collected by art museums and private collectors throughout his lifetime, and continues to be highly sought after today. This exhibition, focusing on Tiffany’s magnificent stained-glass windows, floral vases, lamps and accessories, revels in the artistry and craftsmanship of the Tiffany artworks from Chicago’s distinguished Richard H. Driehaus Collection, highlighting masterworks never before presented in a comprehensive exhibition. The Richard H. Driehaus Collection is one of the country’s most important private collections of works by Tiffany. Widely recognized as the gold standard for American decorative objects of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, works by Tiffany and his associated firms are a core collecting area for Richard H. Driehaus. Since acquiring his first Tiffany Studios stained glass window in 1978, the businessman and philanthropist has expanded his collection to over 1,500 Tiffany works, including ecclesiastical and secular windows, Favrile glass, vases, lamps, candlesticks, accessories and furniture to preserve for future generations, as well as to enjoy personally. Louis Comfort Tiffany: Treasures from the Driehaus Collection was organized by the Richard H. Driehaus Museum and is toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC.

6 Looking at the Collection: People, Places & Things November 18, 2018-February 24, 2019 | Adtran, Jurenko, Thurber & Guild Galleries ince its inception in 1970, the Huntsville Museum Sof Art has increased its permanent collection from a small handful of founding gifts to nearly 3,200 works of historical and contemporary art in a wide range of media and styles, providing a rich resource held in trust for present and future generations. With the Museum’s expansion in 2010, additional gallery space became available to showcase various aspects of the collection, alongside Museum-organized and nationally traveling shows. Through long-term collections, exhibits like American Studio Glass and Buccellati: A Silver Menagerie, as well as temporary thematic shows like Looking at the Collection: People, Places & Things, the Museum is pleased to have more of an opportunity to showcase its own holdings and share them with members and visitors alike. People, Places & Things is an eclectic exhibition that combines both traditional and contemporary works in a variety of different media. The show is presented in a straight-forward manner, with “People” arranged in the Adtran and Jurenko Galleries, “Places” represented in the Thurber Gallery, and “Things” gathered in the Guild Gallery. Some artworks will be familiar to regular visitors to the Museum, while others have not been displayed for many years. The aim of People, Places & Things is to draw parallels and contrasts between different artistic styles, time frames, and cultures. By changing the usual context for their display, viewers will hopefully discover new and interesting ways to consider the many wonderful treasures found in the Museum’s collection.
