The Annual Houston Antiques Dealers Association (HADA) Lecture in Honor of Katherine Howe / Speaker: Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New YorkThis lecture offers a behind-the-scenes preview of a magnificent leaded-glass window. The three-part "Garden Landscape," recently acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is scheduled to be unveiled in New York this fall. Commissioned by a woman, conceived by a woman, and largely crafted by women, the window brings focus to the significant—yet largely unknown—role of women in the art of renowned glass artist Louis Comfort Tiffany. At the same time, it sheds light on the innovations of the glass chemists and workers at Tiffany Studios and the extraordinary illusionistic effects they achieved.
This lecture is included with Museum admission and takes place in Brown Auditorium Theater on the lower level of the Law Building. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
