Arguably America’s greatest art nouveau designer, Louis Comfort Tiffany created his most extraordinary works in the medium of glass. This exhibition of 40 lamps conveys the beauty of his designs and complexity of the fabrication processes employed by Tiffany Studios between 1900 and 1925.

Color as Field: American Painting, 1950-1975
June 20-Sept. 21, 2008
Ingram Gallery
Exemplified in the work of Joseph Albers, Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Mark Rothko and Frank Stella, the paintings featured in this exhibition constitute one of the crowning achievements of postwar American abstract art. Color as Field will encompass approximately 40 large-scale canvases.
Organized by American Federation of Arts.
The exhibition is made possible, in part, by grants from the Henry Luce Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts as part of American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius.
Shades of Gray: Four Artists of the Southeast
June 20-Sept. 21, 2008
Gordon Contemporary Artists Project Gallery and Education Gallery
This exhibition will present the works of four Southeastern artists: Sue Mulcahy (Nashville, Tenn.); Kell Black (Clarksville, Tenn.); Carol Prusa (Boca Raton, Fla.); and Jane Nodine (Spartanburg, S.C.). Each artist employs a limited palette of black, white and gray in exploring ambiguous relationships between figure and ground, as well as reality and the imagination. Shades of Gray will be presented as a companion to the exhibition Color as Field.
Organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts.
