As a painter, Louis Comfort Tiffany was captivated by the interplay of light and color, and this fascination found its most spectacular expression in his glass “paintings.” Through the medium of opalescent glass, Tiffany could actually capture light in color and manipulate it to achieve impressionistic effects. Learn how Tiffany Studios created leaded-glass windows and lampshades in vibrant colors and richly varied patterns, textures, and opacities.
Lindsy Parrott is the Executive Director and Curator of The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass. During her fifteen year tenure at The Neustadt, she has conducted ground breaking research on the manufacture and use of Tiffany's opalescent flat glass, which has been published in numerous journal articles and exhibition catalogues, and has curated traveling exhibitions exploring a wide variety of Tiffany topics. She is a member of numerous professional glass and decorative arts organizations, including the Art Glass Forum/ New York (President), the National American Glass Club (Board of Directors), Victorian Society New York, and American Glass Guild. In 2014 she was elected as a Fellow of the Corning Museum of Glass. She has written and lectured extensively on all aspects of Tiffany's career.
