SUMMARY:1 p.m. The Work of Currier & Ives Talk and Tour
DESCRIPTION: \n \nMore than 150 years before Americans adorned their homes with mass-produced prints from Pottery Barn or Home Depot\, the business team of Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives created an industry of art for ordinary people. \nThe firm of Currier & Ives proclaimed itself to be the “Grand Central Depot for Cheap and Popular Prints” and singlehandedly democratized art in America. Over the span of their careers\, Currier and Ives produced more than seven thousand prints that sold in the millions of copies. At one time\, 95 percent of all lithographs in circulation in the United States were from the firm of Currier & Ives. Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives are both interred at Green-Wood. \nJoin Robert K. Newman\, a third-generation owner of the Old Print Shop on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan and expert on Currier & Ives\, for an in-depth look at this legendary team. After the talk\, join Green-Wood historian Jeff Richman for a trolley tour with stops at the graves of Currier\, Ives and other artists from the firm\, including Fannie Palmer\, the only woman in an otherwise all-male business. \nThis event has two parts\, with separate tickets for each part: \n\nThe free talk in the historic Green-Wood chapel.\n \nA guided trolley tour immediately following the talk. Tickets are $15 for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and $20 for non-members.\n\n \nSeating is limited for both the talk and the trolley tour\, and reservations are recommended. \nTo purchase tickets\, call 718-210-3080 or order online using the Ticket Information box below — click to Order Now or Enter Promotional Code (Member ID#) and you will be redirected to our Eventbrite ordering page.

SUMMARY:1 p.m. 'Clara and Mr. Tiffany' with Author Susan Vreeland Talk &Tour
DESCRIPTION:“Not just for art lovers; read it if you enjoy love\, human drama\, and American cultural history.” — Library Journal\n \nThe latest novel of bestselling author Susan Vreeland was inspired by the story of the real artist behind the iconic lamps of Green-Wood resident Louis Comfort Tiffany. Hundreds of personal letters brought to the attention of art historians in 2005 led to the electrifying discovery that it was a woman\, Clara Driscoll\, who invented and designed world-famous stained-glass lamps. Set against the Gilded Age world of formal balls and opera as well as the immigrant poverty of the Lower East Side\, Vreeland’s novel imagines the life of the artistic and progressive Driscoll.  \nThis event has two parts\, with separate tickets for each part: \n\nA free book talk by Susan Vreeland in the historic Green-Wood chapel\, ending with a book signing (just released in paperback).\n \nA trolley tour immediately following the talk\, led by Green-Wood’s historian Jeff Richman\, to the graves of the Tiffany family\, plus many contemporary designers and leading figures of the day. Tickets are $15 for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and $20 for non-members.\n\n \nSeating is limited for both the talk and the trolley tour\, and reservations are recommended. \nTo purchase tickets\, call 718-210-3080 or order online using the Ticket Information box below — click to Order Now or Enter Promotional Code (Member ID#) and you will be redirected to our Eventbrite ordering page.
