Tiffany's 20th Century: A Portrait of American Style
- Used Book in Good Condition
Tiffany's 20th Century is a stunning portrait of American high design and style as epitomized by Tiffany & Co., the world-renowned jeweler and purveyor of silver, crystal, and other luxury goods. This all-new treasury of exquisitely photographed images and anecdotal text and captions is the most complete chronicle to date of Tiffany's prodigious output and its great influence on American society from 1900 to now. The story of this century's reeling progress and change involves a dazzling cast of characters from Louis Comfort Tiffany himself to Tiffany & Co.'s design directors Van Day Truex and John Loring; stylemakers such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Babe Paley, and Diana Vreeland; and movie stars such as Audrey Hepburn, whom so many adored for her famed role in the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. The book's nearly 350 illustrations include many newly made photographs of dazzling jewels, silver, and objets from throughout this remarkable century. These are complemented by rarely seen archival photographs and drawings, as well as classic advertising and fashion photographs by such greats as Edward Steichen, Man Ray, and Richard Avedon.
