ANTIQUES, by WENDY MOONAN
"...[there is a ] Louis Comfort Tiffany exhibition at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh through Jan.15. Its 120 objects include lamps, windows, mosaics, pottery, furniture and jewelry.
Five of the pieces are loans from the Lillian Nassau gallery in Manhattan, which has specialized in Tiffany for five decades. Arlie Sulka took over the gallery this month after having worked first for Mrs. Nassau, who died in 1995, and then for her son Paul.
"It was my dream," said Ms. Sulka, who has been with the gallery since 1980. She recalled that Mrs. Nassau had instructed her: "Buy the best; you can't overpay. someone will always buy it.
It took Ms. Sulka three months to complete an inventory of the art, which included not only Tiffany but also glass by Loetz and Steuben, Sevres porcelain, Hungarian pottery and Wiener Werkstatte ceramics. On December 11, the gallery, at 220 East 57th Street, will open a special 60th anniversary show of Tiffany Studio glass tiles and mosaics."
