TIFFANY'S GLASS MOSAICS

Kelly A. Conway and Lindsy R. Parrott

Tiffany's Glass Mosaics accompanies a major exhibition at The Corning Museum of Glass, organized jointly with the Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass. It features essays written by noted scholars and curators who, for the first time, investigate the breadth of mosaic production at the company from the 1880s through the 1930s. The publication is richly illustrated with objects and archival photographs from major museums, libraries, and private collections in the United States and Europe. Important large-scale architectural commissions in ecclesiastical and other public buildings across America are also featured. Many of these imposing murals have never before been professionally photographed or published. A detailed appendix lists all of the known mosaic commissions executed by Tiffany's firm.

Of all those books I could recommend, this ranks highest among those few 'must haves'.
 
Well made, laid out and with valuable texts by Morgan T. Albahary, Elizabeth J. De Rosa, Natalie Z. Peters, Jennifer Perry Thalheimer and Karol B. Wright, this book covers the history of mosaics, Tiffany's inspiration for glass mosaics and the innovations of Tiffany's company and his works.
 
Through the photographs, readers will gain insights into Tiffany and his works including mosaics, both in detail and in situ, for various projects with related sketches alongside photographs of buildings and objects, his studio, techniques and materials.
The foreword explains how time consuming it was to photograph Tiffany's work in churches, theatres, office buildings and private residences.
 
Together with the exposition at the Corning Museum of Glass, this book Tiffany's Glass Mosaics
is an unique document that bundles together all knowledge with the greatest care and love.
