Excerpt from Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Press Release:
"Tiffany: The Pursuit of Beauty in Nature marks the seventh installment in Selby Gardens’ annual Jean & Alfred Goldstein Exhibition Series, which examines major artists through the lens of their connection to nature. The 2023 Exhibition celebrates the masterful artistry of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933). One of the most influential American artists and designers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Tiffany described his lifelong goal as “the pursuit of beauty,” and he believed that inspiration for art and design should be found in nature. In the first exhibition of its type to be presented in a botanical garden, Selby Gardens has showcased Tiffany’s creativity and innovation by highlighting the connection between his art and the natural world. His celebrated stained-glass windows and lamps have inspired stunning horticultural displays in the Tropical Conservatory and throughout the Gardens, while outstanding examples of Tiffany’s work in various media, on generous loan from a private collection, are on view in the Museum of Botany & the Arts.”
