Book Tiffany & Co. Vision and Virtuosity (Icon Edition) by Assouline

Description

When Charles Lewis Tiffany opened his first store in 1837 in New York, selling "fancy articles" imported from Paris, he could not have imagined the visions of glamor his name would evoke around the world. Tiffany & Co. has grown from a modest purveyor of giftware to a world-renowned synonym for luxury and romance, sublime and rare gemstones, joyful objects of love and an inimitable blend of tradition and modernity . Tiffany is a name that resonates across generations and cultures, part of the fabric of social and cultural history, an American institution gifted to the world, an emporium of escapism, a repository of dreams.


Over its 185 years, Tiffany & Co. has continued to evolve creatively, embracing artistic and cultural influences, finding exciting ways to renew its rich heritage. Since the 1950s, Tiffany has used designers who have become iconic names, from Jean Schlumberger to Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso, ensuring that Tiffany remains vibrant and relevant for every generation. The company's dynamic design honors and perpetuates the pioneering spirit of the founder.


Today, Tiffany continues to bring fantasy to its annual fine jewelry collections, while reaching out to new generations through original collections that offer personal expression, being so much a part of Charles Lewis Tiffany's original concept. The rhythm continues, the pulse of New York and creativity, the quest for modernity and originality intertwined with respect for the great legacy of Tiffany.


Designed as the catalog accompanying the Vision and Virtuosity exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London, this Assouline volume, available in the Icon and Ultimate editions, summarizes all the romance and legacy of this world-famous American icon, highlighting the inspirations Tiffany's creative, witty advertisements and window displays, Blue Book jewelry collections and diamond expertise, as well as the stories behind the Blue Box, the classic film Breakfast at Tiffany's and the fabulous Tiffany Yellow Diamond.
