I n Company with Angels Seven Rediscovered Tiffany Windows an exhibitionof stained glass angels created in 1902 in the renowned studios of one ofthe most illustrious designers of the early 20th century Louis Comfort

Tiffany (1848-1933) opens October 25 in the Museum of Art

Made to grace a Swedenborgian church in Cincinnati Ohio the rare windows weredisplaced when the church was razed in 1964 for highway construction Stored incrates the eight-foot-tall windows were moved from Ohio to Pennsylvania and re-mained in parishionersrsquo garages basements and a barn for nearly 40 years Anewly assigned minister opened the mysterious unmarked crates in 2001 Stunnedby what she discovered she called a stained-glass expert who recognized Tiffanyrsquoscharacteristic opalescent glass designs and techniques despite decades of grimeChurch archives confirmed the attribution and restoration of the angel windowsbegan in 2004 Cleaning of the last window revealed Tiffanyrsquos signature and InCompany with Angels Inc a nonprofit organization was formed to preserve and ex-hibit the windows Given that an estimated 50 percent of Tiffany studiosrsquo churchwindow production does not survive rediscoveriesmdashespecially of a series such asthe Seven Angelsmdashis a significant event in the history of American glass

The eight-foot-tall windows feature the hall-mark of Tiffanyrsquos artworks opulent jewel-toned and richly colored iridescent glasscalled favrile Tiffany and his designerscreated unparalleled dramatic visual ef-fects through the use of color and light ina variety of materials In addition to theback-lit windows the exhibition will featurea range of decorative arts created inTiffanyrsquos studiosmdashcolorful lamps vasesceramics enamels metalwork and furni-turemdashdrawn from the Museumrsquos perma-nent collection and select loans A specialdisplay will illustrate how intricate stainedglass masterpieces are created

The Swedenborgian faith is a Christian tra-dition based on the writings of 18th-cen-tury scientist and mystic EmanuelSwedenborg A central theme of the Swe-denborgian denomination teaches that thepurpose of human life is to prepare to liveas angels in heaven It also holds that an-gels are present and contribute to daily lifeon earth A person is in company with an-gels though unaware thus the relevanceof the seven stained glass windows
