Featuring 45 lamps from The Neustadt’s renowned collection, Tiffany or Tiphony? starts with a seemingly simple question—is a lamp genuine Tiffany or a deliciously deceptive Ti-phony? This exhibition sheds light on an unexpected tale of innovation, desire, and imitation. Exciting new research, careful comparison, and engaging interactive elements offer a fresh and fascinating perspective on these beloved artworks. By learning to look closely, visitors will uncover clues to the lamps’ true identities and discover why it’s important (and fun!) to spot a fake.
Organized by The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass, Queens, New York.
