The first major exhibition to be shown at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts after the grand opening of the McGlothlin Wing celebrates one of America’s greatest artists. “Tiffany: Color and Light” is the most important exhibition of the work of renowned designer and master of glass, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933) in a generation. Drawing on the finest collections in Europe, North America, and Russia, the exhibition presents Tiffany as an artist of international stature and significance. The exhibition focuses on his primary achievements – the innovative techniques and artistry he developed to achieve original and spectacular effects in glass. This exhibition was conceived by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and organized in collaboration with VMFA and the Musée de Luxembourg, where it debuted last September. VMFA is the only venue in the United States to feature this show.
