Dream Garden

Dream Garden is probably the most stunning piece of art in glass I’ve ever seen. A bit about the Curtis Publishing Company building, which houses this work:

An example of Georgian Revival architecture, it holds a famous Tiffany glass mosaic, “The Dream Garden,” made for Curtis by the Louis C. Tiffany Studios. The 260-color mosaic was based on a painting by Maxfield Parrish. In 1998, the mosaic was sold to casino owner Steve Wynn, who planned to move it to one of his casinos. This was blocked by local historians and art lovers who raised $3.5 million to prevent the move.

Honestly, check this thing out. Looks nothing like the stained glass we’re all accustomed to seeing.
