Few items speak Art Nouveau like Tiffany glass, and in America’s Art Nouveau movement, few visionaries have left as indelible an impression as Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of Tiffany founder Charles Tiffany. His colorfully luminescent jewelry and stained glass lamps and windows have become practically synonymous with the sensuous and vibrant art movement. On September 5, The Winterthur, Delaware will host two exhibitions featuring some of Tiffany’s iconic Art Nouveau colored glass pieces. The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass in New York City organized Tiffany Glass: Painting With Color and Light. A second, smaller exhibit, Tiffany: The Color of Luxury explores the way Tiffany has helped define American luxury culture. For information, including special services, call 800-4483883, 302-888-4600, or TTY 302-888-4907, or visit Winterthur Museum.
