Explore the correlation of art and literature in SMA’s book club. In 2005, art historians were astonished to learn from previously unknown correspondence that the exquisite stained glass lamps attributed to Louis Comfort Tiffany were most likely conceived and designed by Clara Driscoll, one of the "Tiffany girls" who labored anonymously in Tiffany workrooms in New York City. In Clara and Mr. Tiffany, Vreeland tells the story of workers like Clara who created the lamps, vases, and windows that were Tiffany‘s signature styles. Author Susan Vreeland will join the discussion via video-conferencing. Enjoy light refreshments and discuss books with SMA’s inspiring galleries as a backdrop.

Explore the correlation of art and literature in SMA’s book club. Part social satire, part romance, part revolutionary thriller, Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde tells of a battle against overwhelming odds. In a society where the ability to see the higher end of the color spectrum denotes a better social standing, Eddie belongs to the low-level House of Red and can see his own color—but no other. He might well have lived out his rose-tinted life without a hitch – but that changes when he becomes smitten with Jane, a Grey Nightseer from the dark, unlit side of the village. She shows Eddie that all is not well with the world he thinks is just and good. Together, they engage in dangerous revolutionary talk. Enjoy light refreshments and discuss books with SMA’s inspiring galleries as a backdrop.

Discover the correlation of art and literature in SMA’s book club. Provenance: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art is the extraordinary narrative of one of the most far-reaching and elaborate deceptions in art history. Written by investigative reporters Laney Salisbury and Aly Sujo, the book brilliantly recounts the tale of a great con man and unforgettable villain, John Drewe, and his sometimes unwitting accomplices. Provenance reads like a well-plotted thriller, filled with unforgettable characters and told at a breakneck pace. But this is most certainly not fiction; the book is a meticulously researched and captivating account of one of the greatest cons in the history of art forgery. Enjoy light refreshments and discuss books with SMA’s inspiring galleries as a backdrop.

Discover the correlation of art and literature in SMA’s book club. Part love story, part mystery, Vanished Smile: The Mysterious Theft of Mona Lisa reopens the case of the most audacious and perplexing art theft ever committed. In Paris at the start of a radically new century, the most famous face in the history of art stepped out of her frame and into a sensational mystery. On August 21, 1922, the unfathomable happened – Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa vanished from the Louvre. More than twenty-four hours passed before museum officials realized she was gone. R.A. Scotti’s riveting ingeniously realized account is itself a masterly portrait of a world in transition. Combining her skills as a historian and a novelist, Scotti turns the tantalizing clues into a story of the painting’s transformation into the most familiar and lasting icon of all time. Enjoy light refreshments and discuss books with SMA’s inspiring galleries as a backdrop.
