No American designer was more closely linked with Art Nouveau than Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), whose luminous glass designs wedded technical innovations and superb craftsmanship with the highest artistry infusing everyday objects with beauty derived from nature. Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of Tiffany and Company co-founder Charles L. Tiffany, formed the Tiffany Glass Company in 1885. Throughout a 40-year career, he forged a unique style that combined superb craftsmanship with a love of natural forms and brilliant color.
This exhibition presents a selection of 50 extraordinary Tiffany works from the Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Holtzman Collection, and features exquisite Tiffany lamps, favrile glassware, candlesticks, desk sets, and other works in glass and metal, never before publicly exhibited. Evelyn and Seymour Holtzman began collecting Tiffany in 1984, when they bought their first Tiffany lamp - a floor lamp in the Snowball pattern - for their library. The Holtzman's passionate collecting of all things Tiffany has resulted in one of the most extensive privately held Tiffany collections in the world.
Tiffany Studios: The Holtzman Collection has been curated by Alastair Duncan, the world's foremost authority on Tiffany glass and author of numerous books on the decorative arts of the 19th and 20th centuries. A fully-illustrated exhibition catalogue authored by Mr. Duncan will present the entire Holtzman Collection in print for the first time and will be available in print for the first time.
