Tiffany Glass Exhibit Opens Sept. 22 at MOA PotatoFestival
View stunning lamps, stained glass windows and glasswork created by Louis Comfort Tiffany when the exhibition Louis C. Tiffany: Art and Innovation opens Sept. 22 at the Museum of the Albemarle. At 10:15 a.m., Tom Wester, owner of the Wester Gallery in Roswell, Ga., will lead a curator’s tour and talk that explores the work of Tiffany (1848-1933) and the significance of the Art Nouveau movement, a widespread and popular style that was part of the late-19th and early-20th centuries. On display will be rare items such as a circa 1910 lamp with an oriental poppy shade and a Cypriot glass base; a number of Favrile glass works including lamp sprays from Whalehead in Historic Corolla; and an urn-shaped vase that was displayed at the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific in Seattle, Wash., where Tiffany won a gold medal for his work. In addition, artifacts manufactured by Tiffany and Company will be exhibited. Items displayed are on loan from Wester’s collection, other private collections and several institutions. The exhibition will run through fall 2016. The museum is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.- 4 p.m., and admission is free.
