The works of Tiffany Studios revolutionized interior design in turn-of-the-century America, and all of the works - from stained glass windows to blown-glass vases, lamp shades to inkwells - bore the unique stamp of Louis Comfort Tiffany, who created the Studios and supervised every aspect of their production. Many of these pieces are well-known today, but there are special pieces, some not well known - the "lost" works of Tiffany himself - that are, in a real sense, the core of his astonishing achievement.

This museum was intended to house two major works and is, therefore, not very big. But the beauty is in the design - one gets the feeling that there is light all around because the small building is made of varying amounts of translucent glass. This book shows not only photographs of the beautiful finished product, but of the steps taken and drawings of the proposed museum. It is tucked into a corner over which there is a tall building, but it is not affected by the building, nor the 8 lanes of expressway traffic zooming past (there's an amazing photo of this! ) . It is meant to be a place of ... View more info
