Freud and Tiffany, New York and Vienna

Freud and Tiffany, New York and Vienna

By Elizabeth Ann Danto

Twenty years later, Dorothy, the daughter of Louise and Louis Comfort Tiffany, would take her own four children from New York to Vienna for safety and psychoanalysis and for respite from her complicated marriage to Robert Burlingham at its end. They arrived in 1925.
