Gene Moore (June 10, 1910 – November 23, 1998) was an American designer. F rom the mid-1950s to the late 1990s, Moore was the man behind the window scenes at Tiffany’s Fifth Avenue flagship. A master of his craft, he went so far as to incorporate contemporary art by famed artists like Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jasper Johns. Moore dreamed up the circus collection in the 1980s, picturing a miniature circus crafted in Tiffany’s iconic silver and bright enamel. Tiffany designers took his idea and ran with it, creating acrobats, clowns, circus animals, and even dinosaurs fitted with saddles. A February 2022 auction of 60 pieces yielded a result well into six figures. We have several other pieces from this collection, so please see our other listings and inquire about combining purchases. Immerse yourself in the magic and splendor that is Tiffany's circus masterpieces with this "mother and baby in stroller".
