A lavishly illustrated catalogue that is the first to explore the
role of modernism in 20th- century American silver design From
teaspoons to cocktail shakers and unique objects made for New York
World's Fairs, this stunning book examines the influence of
modernism upon industrially produced silverware made in the United
States from 1925 to 2000. Featuring the Dallas Museum of Art's
Jewel Stern American Silver Collection- which comprises over four
hundred extraordinary works in the modern idiom-as well as other
objects in the Museum's collection, and selected pieces on loan,
Modernism in American Silver is the first book to study the full
scope of progressive design in American silver of the twentieth
century. The book not only focuses on the works of such widely
known designers as Michael Graves, Richard Meier, Tommi Parzinger,
Elsa Peretti, Eliel Saarinen, Belle Kogan, and Lella and Massimo
Vigelli, it also reveals the role of others largely unrecognized,
among them Donald H. Colflesh, Kurt Eric Christoffersen, Helen
Hughes Dulany, Robert J. King, and Elsa Tennhardt, who were
instrumental in shaping silverware for a New Age. For collectors,
scholars, designers, students, and museum visitors interested in
silver and design, this book is a beautiful and essential resource.
