CAA Chicago | Tiffany Lamps: Beyond the Shade

America/Chicago
Off-campus

Join co-hosts Anne Moore and Chris Stacey at the magnificent Driehaus Museum for "Tiffany Lamps: Beyond the Shade." This exhibition illuminates the volume and breadth of Louis C. Tiffany’s vast artistic production. From the 1890s to the 1920s, Tiffany Studios created a captivating range of decorative lighting fixtures that embraced the technological shift from oil lamps to electricity and simultaneously met the styles and tastes of nineteenth and twentieth century consumers. Drawn from the expansive collections of the Museum and the private art collection of Richard H. Driehaus (now the Art Exhibition Lending Foundation), the exhibition explores how the artisans at Tiffany Studios used a range of materials— including bronze, enamel, ceramic, and glass—to bring Tiffany’s innovative lighting designs to life.
