For centuries, wrought iron was worked with care and craft into
objects as diverse as shop signs, balcony railings, and dog
collars. This handsome volume brings together thirty-six unique
pieces of wrought iron from the celebrated collection of the Musee
Le Secq des Tournelles in Rouen, France, and combines stunning
photography with fresh and engaging scholarship. Salvaged by the
founders of the Musee Le Secq during a period when wrought iron was
being rapidly discarded and replaced with modern materials, these
objects tell stories of preindustrial times and highlight the
importance of iron in our shared past. An essay by Kathleen M.
Morris offers a contemporary perspective on these extraordinary
works of art, while current and former curators of the Musee Le
Secq provide fascinating insights into the magnificent holdings of
the museum's renowned collection. Distributed for the Clark Art
Institute Exhibition Schedule: Clark Art Institute
