D. AUGUSTUS<br />
SAINT-GAUDENS:<br />
DIANA Architect Stanford<br />
White commissioned Augustus<br />
Saint-Gaudens (American, 1848–<br />
1907), one <strong>of</strong> the greatest sculptors<br />
<strong>of</strong> his day, to create a weather vane<br />
for the tower <strong>of</strong> Madison Square<br />
Garden. White thought the original<br />
18-foot gilded bronze figure, erected<br />
in 1891, was too large, and a year later<br />
it was replaced with a smaller version<br />
that towered over the New York skyline<br />
until the building was razed in 1925.<br />
Later on, Saint-Gaudens created three<br />
reduced variant editions <strong>of</strong> Diana<br />
and our gleaming figure reproduces<br />
one <strong>of</strong> these smaller versions, a<br />
jewel <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Museum</strong>’s American<br />
Wing. Bonded bronze, hand<br />
patinated. 15 1/4"H x 11 1/2"L<br />
x 5 1/4"W, including base.<br />

MAGNOLIA<br />
BLOSSOMS SCARF<br />
E. NEW LOUIS C. TIFFANY MAGNOLIA BLOSSOMS<br />
SCARF Louis C. Tiffany’s innovations in glass became the<br />
cornerstone <strong>of</strong> his legacy. His signature Favrile glass allowed<br />
him to “paint” with glass, achieving both great vibrancy<br />
and great subtlety, nowhere more evident than in<br />
his glorious Magnolias and Irises window<br />
(ca. 1908) in the <strong>Museum</strong>’s American<br />
Wing. Our luxurious scarf captures<br />
the nuanced colorations <strong>of</strong> this<br />
masterpiece. Silk crêpe de chine.<br />
Imported. 18" x 64". 80-018270 $65<br />
