Danner Memorial Window<\/p>\n

Sotheby's<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When Sotheby\u2019s announced the Danner Memorial Window would be up for auction, it was cause for excitement<\/a>. Windows by Tiffany Studios rarely come to auction, and the Danner Memorial Window<\/a>, commissioned for the First Baptist Church in Canton, Ohio, in 1913, is an especially beautiful example. Sotheby\u2019s offered the window at its Nov. 18 Modern Evening Auction in New York<\/a>; it\u00a0had a presale estimate of $5 million to $7 million. It more than exceeded expectations by selling for $12.48 million, the highest price any Tiffany Studios piece has achieved at auction.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Tiffany Studios has held that record. The last time the window sold at auction was at Christie\u2019s in 2000, when billionaire Alan Gerry bought it for $1.9 million, then an auction record for Tiffany Studios. <\/p>\n

The new record price isn\u2019t the only groundbreaking part of the sale. This was the first time Sotheby\u2019s sold a Tiffany window, which usually falls into the category of decorative arts, at an evening fine art auction. Jodi Pollack, head of twentieth-century design at Sotheby\u2019s, called the sale<\/a> \u201ca landmark moment for the Tiffany market,\u201d placing Tiffany Studios and its artists \u201cwithin the pantheon of the most iconic artists of the twentieth century.\u201d She describes the window, with its vibrant colors and serene landscape scene, as having \u201cthe same painterly effects of light as the great impressionist painters of their time.\u201d <\/p>\n

While Louis Comfort Tiffany certainly earned his place among great American designers, the lesser-known artists who worked for his studio cannot be forgotten. Many were women, the so-called \u201cTiffany Girls,\u201d<\/a> or Women\u2019s Glass Cutting Department, employed to create designs and select glass for leaded windows and lamps. The Danner Memorial Window was the work of one of these women, Agnes Northrop<\/a>. Northrop began working for Tiffany Studios in the 1880s and had her own design studio within the company by the 1890s. She designed for Tiffany Studios for over 50 years.<\/p>\n

Today, Northrop\u2019s windows and design studies can be found in museum collections<\/a>. But the Danner Memorial Window has a new, anonymous, record-setting owner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
