| Summary: |
This book is the definitive account of Louis Comfort Tiffany's highly collectible 'Favrile' art glass, which he considered his signature artistic achievement, produced between the 1890s and the 1920s. It surveys the entirety of the Tiffany Studio's output, from the exquisite delicacy of the flowerforms to the dramatically dripping golden flow of the 'Lava' vases, from the dazzling iridescence of the 'Cypriote' vases to the opaqueness of the 'Brown' pieces, and much more. With a biography of Louis Comfort Tiffany, a history of the glassworks and its extraordinary technical innovations, and profiles of the gifted glassworkers and scientists who created these unique masterpieces, as well as never-before-published documents and archival photographs of Tiffany and his family, 'The Art Glass of Louis Comfort Tiffany' is an essential addition to the libraries of all lovers of Tiffany, art glass, American Art Nouveau and the decorative arts. |
