    Book Description

    This beautiful book focuses on Laurelton Hall, Louis Comfort Tiffany’s extraordinary country estate in Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York. Beginning in 1902, Tiffany (1848–1933) designed every aspect of the immense home, which had eighty-four rooms and eight levels, and extensive grounds into which the house was carefully integrated. Tiffany’s residential masterpiece was also a quasi-museum, for he filled it with his own works—windows, glassware, pottery, enamels, lamps, oil paintings, and watercolors—as well as with objects from his collections of Islamic, Asian, and Native American art.
    Laurelton Hall burned down in 1957, but about ten years earlier most of its contents had been removed and sold. Every aspect of the estate is examined and re-created in this volume: its terraced gardens with fountains and pools; the many outbuildings; and Tiffany’s life there. The interior decoration of Laurelton Hall, a particular focus of the book, is represented by both numerous period photographs and newly commissioned color photography of surviving artworks and salvaged architectural components from the estate. For all who admire Tiffany and his work, this book presents a unique portrait of his remarkable home.

    Book Description

    This is the first book devoted to Tiffany lamps in more than 20 years. Experts in the field have made a selection of exceptional lamps-many of which have rarely been seen or published-and each one has been newly photographed with the latest photographic techniques to reveal in extraordinary detail the artistic quality and high craftsmanship of these masterpieces of decorative art.

    Martin Eidelberg and Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen have contributed essays on the history of the lamps, enlarging our understanding of Louis Comfort Tiffany's achievement. They have also drawn upon a host of previously unpublished photographs, paintings, and watercolors by Tiffany and other artists in his employ, as well as on working drawings and studio photographs, to evoke the lost gardens and interiors of Tiffany's country estate, Laurelton Hall, that so inspired him. They outline the development and manufacture of the Tiffany lamp from freehand sketch to the finished form, as well as the chief decorative themes in Tiffany's glass masterpieces and their relation to the work of other fin de siècle glassmakers. In this book, light, color, and the inspiration of nature co-mingle to produce a deliciously sensuous experience.

    4 out of 5 stars Lamps of Tiffany.......2007-01-19

    I really enjoyed this book. The color full page pictures are great.

    5 out of 5 stars The definitive book on the subject, for glass artists or just droolers.......2006-07-07

    I'd postponed writing a review of this book because I imagined that it was only fair to read the entire text before I wrote about it. I've never really gotten to concentrate on the words, though, because the photos are so, *SO* astonishingly beautiful.

    This isn't simply a collection of lamp pictures, taken as though they're head-and-shoulders photos in a police lineup. Many of the lamps have multiple views, from very small (to show off how drapery glass was used, for instance), to a general detail shot, to photographs of the bases the company used to accompany the shade. The photography quality is excellent; you really see everything you need. A professional glass artist (or drooling amateur like myself) can see the details and understand why these lamps set the bar for stained glass. Even if you know NOTHING about the subject, you'll be blown away by the overwhelming prettiness of the material.

    I'm not sure if this book represents every Tiffany lamp ever made, but it must come close. Additional images show related material, such as photos of Tiffany's Long Island home (wow), cartoons for lamps we've never seen, and Tiffany Studios' 1904 advertisements for its lamps. Most of the book, however, is a study of the lamps themselves, organized by topic (such as fauna or wetlands), and analyzed in some detail.

    When I drag my eyes away, I can recognize that the prose is as complete as the photographs. In addition to the historical context in which the lamps were created, there's plenty of history and analysis about their manufacture. ("Another watercolor rendering in the collection in the Metropolitan Museum is for a Snowball shade [figure 93]. Here, because of the model's domical form, the designer compensated for the curvature of the surface by opening the top sections of the shade into a series of regular projections, just as a cartographer has to allow for the curvature of the globe.") Some of it is a bit dry and academic, at least for those of us who are here primarily to say, "ooh, how pretty!" but if you cared about the details, you would definitely appreciate its depth. In other words: there's plenty to look at, and there's plenty to read, depending on what you're looking for.

    You can find a few other collections of Tiffany's works, but I can't imagine you'll find a better one.

    5 out of 5 stars Great New Tiffany Lamp Book.......2006-05-12

    It is about time that another great book joins the volumes published in the 70's and 80's. There is some new information here as well as photos of lamps that have not been seen for years. This book is well worth the money for any fan of these incredible lamps.

    5 out of 5 stars Lovely Book.......2006-03-22

    I saw this book in a museum bookstore and immediately came home and purchased it on Amazon. I'm a stained glass student and looking at this book really inspired me. The photographs are stunning and the book is packed full of great information about Louis Comfort Tiffany and his studio. Included are his drawings for a few windows, information about the methods used to make them, and there's even info on the process used to create the glass. Very informative and a joy to look at.

    commentary as to original sizes, craft tips nor art highlights.

    5 out of 5 stars Some Reviews are Misleading.......2000-04-19

    This book does contain Tiffany window designs which Tiffany created using Tiffany glass not modern glass. They reproduce very well when scanned. I use them in computer application of the designs. The book which has the postcards is "Tiffany Stained Glass Windows" by Alastair Duncan (ISBN: 0486253368)which I also bought. This book does have some colored images and when combined with the Duncan Postcards you can produce some nice images. Fifteen or sixteen of the postcards are images that are also in this book. I would suggest buyers consider getting them both.

    4 out of 5 stars great projects.......2000-04-12

    If you are into doing windows in the style of Tiffany you need this book...lots of beautiful patterns which can be enlarged at your local copy center. There are color illustrations of many of the patterns which should help in selecting glass but, as usual, the actual glass selection is up to you. It would be nice if all the glass used was specifically identified (mfgr., cat. no., amount needed, etc.), but hey, then we wouldn't have all the fun (?) of agonizing over the selection.

    2 out of 5 stars The colorized images are attractive........2000-03-30

    There are 60 designs, with 16 color images on the front and back cover. The line drawings are difficult to determine the color of glass to use.

    1 out of 5 stars Unfortunately, no colour chart for many patterns!.......1999-09-08

    This book is a wonderful idea. Unfortunately, most of the patterns do not have a colour chart and it makes it impossible to guess whether a piece of glass should be leaf or sky or bloom from the shape. Given the time and effort that would be required to complete these patterns in stained glass, not to mention the $$$ expense, I refuse to do suc risky guesswork.

    This book reveals great vivid pictures of mid eighteenth century to early nineteenth century pieces of Louis Comfont Tiffany. This is a excellent book to have in memory of the Louis Tiffany Comfort museum exposition of 2006. Book displays wonderful detailed colored pictures. In addition, pictures portray realism. "Louis Comfort Tiffany: Artist for the Ages" contains in-depth descriptions about the artist's art and creativity in parts of the United States and Europe. Historic accounts and experiences of Louis Comfont Tiffany are depicted throughout the book by author Marilynn Johnson. This book would be a great heirloom or gift.

    Book Description

    Louis Comfort Tiffany was the famous son of a famous father. The father founded Tiffany & Co., the son was the leader of American taste in art in decoration for forty years. This lively examination of his life and work includes the dramatic story of Tiffany's rise and fall- a man convinced of his own genius - adventurous and talented enough to be unorthodox, feted and ignored and finally vindicated by time. Over 100 full-scale illustrations reveal the range of Tiffany's genius as a colorist, artist, designer and craftsman.

    4 out of 5 stars A Splendid Review of Tiffany.......2000-06-30

    I found this book to be very good in providing historical data about Louis Comfort Tiffany. Additionally it shows a great representation of his blown glass work. The elements that I found disappointing was the lack of emphasis on his stained glass window work directly, although it does provide some vivid photos of some of his lamps. His window creations were somewhat neglected here in this text, which was one of his passions if you do further historical research into the man's history. All in all, however, this is a beautiful representation of Tiffany's expansive talents that anyone would enjoy. It also has some great biographical data about him that makes for an interesting study. A must read for any Tiffany enthusiast. Not a book to be passed up by any means.

    4 out of 5 stars The importance of iridescence.......1998-08-01

    Yes, there are books with more inspired texts on LC Tiffany. What sets this volume apart is the emphasis on what Tiffany himself considered his most important accomplishment, his technical and stylistic innovations with the glass itself. This aspect is abundantly and inspiringly illustrated; you will certainly enjoy, amongst others, the Egyptian, lava, and floriform vases. The lighting really captures the sheen, texture and brilliance of Tiffany glass. This must be the most complete illustrated collection of Tiffany vases ever. Lampshades which have unusual designs are presented, and some handsome photographs of the rose and the magnolia patterns are noteworthy.
