Monday 17 January 2011 New light on "Clara and Mr. Tiffany"
New York Times bestselling author Susan Vreeland was so inspired by the New-York Historical Society's landmark exhibition A New Light on Tiffany: Clara Driscoll and the Tiffany Girls, that she used the catalogue as the basis for her latest book Clara and Mr. Tiffany.
"It was the catalog and its many photographs that convinced me that a rich, multi-faceted story was possible," says Ms Vreeland. "The exhibition became the inspiration and the catalog a fascinating preliminary source, along with Clara's correspondence, for my sixth novel." Telling the enthralling story of Clara Driscoll and her group of "Tiffany girls" who designed and created many of the famous pieces we know as "Tiffany" today, this is a novel that brims with the same energy that transformed New York in the early twentieth-century.
