Description

Physical Description:

The window measures 8' wide by 16' tall, and is surrounded by an oak frame. The Fox memorial window features an abstract geometric design, common for Tiffany’s earliest works. The window utilizes many kinds of glass, including roundels, and chunks or nuggets, as well as a large range of colors from rich claret and deep sapphire, to greens, golds and lighter shades of pinks, yellows, and blues. The abstract design incorporates not only geometric forms, but also floral and vegetable motifs, such as the green pods around the perimeter, and the pedal-like forms at the bottom which embrace the panels naming the honorees.
