The Lost Treasures of Louis Comfort Tiffany: Windows, Paintings, Lamps, Vases and Other Works

This book reevaluates Tiffany’s art in terms of his personal work-including pieces in all the media that attracted him over the course of his prolific career; stained glass, of course, but also mosaics, blown glass, pottery, jewelry, and enamels. Tiffany’s pioneering efforts in interior design are covered, as are his easel paintings and his doomed but inspiring dream of creating a permanent residential retreat for working artists. Hugh F. McKean also provides intimate insight into Tiffany’s personality, his domestic life, his financial dealings, and his unusual philosophy of art.
