Removed from an Ohio church in 1964, these magnificent windows were stored in parishioners’ garages, basements and sheds for nearly four decades before being rediscovered and confirmed as the work of American master Louis Comfort Tiffany. Now restored to their original glory by a team of conservators, the seven windows stand eight feet tall and depict angels from the Biblical book of Revelation.
In Rochester, a companion installation explores the making of a stained glass window through objects on loan from Pike Stained Glass Studios, Inc., a locally-owned family firm whose founder worked for Tiffany.

Taft Museum of Art
June 11 - September 11, 2011
Cincinnati, Ohio,
Visitors to the Taft this summer will have the unusual experience of viewing a series of brilliantly colorful eight-foot-tall angels in Louis Comfort Tiffany’s unmistakable iridescent stained glass. The angel windows, which exemplify many of his innovations, once ornamented the apse (altar end) of a church in Cincinnati.
Also on view—only at the Taft—will be some fine Cincinnati art-carved furniture created by Henry L. Fry and other decorative arts objects, all from the same church. These hand-carved interior furnishings, including the ornate altar, date from the second half of the 19th century, when Cincinnati had an international reputation as a center for the decorative arts. Together, the furniture and stained-glass windows that will be exhibited at the Taft comprised the interior décor for the Church of the New Jerusalem, completed in 1903 by leading Cincinnati architects Elzner and Anderson.
