Hello, 
We are pleased to announce that the traveling exhibit “In Company with Angels – Seven Rediscovered Tiffany Windows” is available for booking beginning October 2011.  

The “Angels Representing Seven Churches,” the central element of this exhibit, are a set of free-standing, eight-foot tall, windows created by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1902 at Tiffany Studios in New York City.  Originally commissioned for a church in Cincinnati, the seven windows depict angels which are almost life-size, illustrating passages from the Bible’s Book of Revelation.   As an estimated 50 percent of Tiffany's church windows have been lost, the rediscovery of this series of seven original windows is significant in the history of American glass.

The tour of this full set of seven rediscovered windows is an unique opportunity to appreciate both Tiffany’s art and his craftsmanship in an intimate museum setting.  But more than an artistic tour de force, and more than an interpretation of a set of biblical passages, the story of the Seven Angels weaves together history, art and spirituality.  The exhibit includes not only the dramatic Tiffany windows, but is supported by interpretive artifacts, pictures, maps, text and music.

“In Company with Angels” has exhibited at the Delaware Art Museum, the Newcomb Art Gallery of Tulane University, and the Florida State Museum of Fine Art.  During the summer of 2011 it will be at the Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati..  

Requiring a gallery of approximately 1500 to 2000 feet, the exhibit configuration is flexible and may include optional text panels, related artifacts, and a video of the stained glass restoration.  The windows themselves are fully contained in free-standing back-illuminated light boxes, allowing visitors to examine the glass and craftsmanship at close range.
