Empire of Glass illuminates the Abstract Sublime in the forgotten fragments of the stained glass of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933). Tiffany?s luminous raw materials were rescued from destruction by the artist?s grandfather during the liquidation of Tiffany Studios in the Great Depression. A Limited Edition Monograph accompanies the debut exhibition in May 2009 at the Griffin Museum of Photography, Boston.
