SPECIAL EXHIBITION
Designing the Gilded Age: Drawings from the Studios of Louis C. Tiffany
The dazzling stained-glass windows, lamps, mosaics, and interiors from the studios of the visionary American artist Louis Comfort Tiffany—hallmarks of the Gilded Age—began as drawings created by the many talented designers in Tiffany’s studios. Designing the Gilded Age: Drawings from the Studios of Louis C. Tiffany showcases rare design drawings to take us behind the scenes of the studios where the drawings were made and ultimately transformed into enduring works of art.

About the Artwork

Design for a "Carp" Window, ca. 1889–99. Louis C. Tiffany. Transparent and opaque watercolor, and graphite on paper. Purchase, Walter Hoving and Julia T. Weld Gifts and Dodge Fund, 1967.

About the Artist

This illuminating exhibition presents rarely seen drawings by the talented artists who worked in the studios of Louis Comfort Tiffany. Intended for commissions dating from the mid-1880s through the 1920s in the U.S. and internationally, the nearly 120 luminous watercolor drawings present the first step in the artistic process for interiors and decorations for the grand mansions, civic and sacred spaces, and other buildings created during America’s Gilded Age, the post–Civil War era that saw an unprecedented accumulation of wealth.
