Second Generation of Tiffany Created Masterpieces Too
The son of the founder of New York-based Tiffany & Co. preferred glass. His creations, from vases to stained glass windows or the signature Tiffany lamps, are a study in color, light and innovation that revolutionized glassmaking.A selection of his pieces from the late 19th and early 20th centuries are featured in the show "Louis Comfort Tiffany, Colors and Light," which recently opened at the Luxembourg Museum in Paris and will stay there until Jan. 17, when it will move to Montreal's Musee des Beaux-Arts, (Feb. 11-May 2, 2010), then to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (May 29-Aug. 15, 2010).
