Women and the Art of Tiffany Studios: A Garden Landscape Window at The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum

This lecture will focus on an extraordinary new acquisition at the Met from the studios of Louis Comfort Tiffany of a luxuriant garden landscape. An exceptional work of art on all levels, it also holds several stories that are critical to its conception and realization, many of which highlight the important, but often overlooked, part played by women in the art of Louis Tiffany. The lecture will explore the roles of the window’s patron and designer, as well as the women who crafted it. It will also highlight innovations made by Tiffany Studios’ in glass and will place the window within the broader cultural landscape of the United States of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Lecture Committee Chair Kathy Olsen, CPA said: “I am thrilled to present to our audiences the legendary Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen and her fascinating talk. Guests will immerse themselves in the beauty and creative genius of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s artwork and learn about the women who helped him achieve his masterpieces.”
