NASSAU COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART

Proudly Presents

Louis Comfort Tiffany: Artist of the Gilded Age

On View Through November 8, 2026

Louis Comfort Tiffany: Artist of the Gilded Age brings together the Nassau County Museum of Art’s unparalleled collection of more than 130 oil and watercolor paintings by one of America’s most celebrated artists. Curated by NCMA Chief Curator Franklin Hill Perrell and co-curated by Alex C. Maccaro, this landmark exhibition marks the first time the Museum will present the full scope of its Tiffany paintings — an extraordinary group made possible through a generous, anonymous gift that represents the largest private collection of Tiffany paintings.

Complementing the Museum’s collection of paintings and decorative art objects are loans of stained-glass windows, lamps, furniture, decorative arts, as well as works by Tiffany’s contemporaries, providing important context for the artistic movements that shaped his career, including Art Nouveau and the American Aesthetic Movement. Together, these works illuminate the shared artistic principles that united Tiffany’s diverse creative pursuits and reveal painting as a continual source of inspiration throughout his life.

This exhibition fills the entire museum and offers a rare opportunity to explore the full breadth of Tiffany’s artistic vision — to see how his paintings served as a powerful catalyst for the originality, invention, and enduring beauty of his decorative arts.
