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.
