Tiffany’s Design Genius: Edward C. Moore Series

Edward C. Moore, the creative force who led Tiffany & Co. to unparalleled originality in the 19th century, was a substantial collector interested in a range of art—from Greek and Roman glass to Japanese ceramics and baskets. This three-part series looks at the upcoming exhibition Collecting Inspiration: Edward C. Moore at Tiffany and Co., and explores the global art that inspired him and his unique creative process, which led to the creation of an extraordinary and magnificent array of silver designed under his direction. Each lecture presents Moore’s diverse and fascinating collection alongside the exquisite silver created at Tiffany’s during his tenure.
