This book is the catalog for two of the first major exhibits to
show only modernist jewelry from such a broad group of artists.
Both take place in 2008 in Fort Wayne, Indiana: one at The Fort
Wayne Museum of Art (May 2 to August 24) and the other at The
University of St. Francis School of Creative Arts (May 2 to May
30). Over fifty collectors and living art jewelers have lent some
of the best examples of this innovative style. Sculptors Alexander
Calder, Harry Bertoia, Jose de Rivera, Peter and Daniel
Macchiarini, Earl and Tod Pardon, and merry rank are among the 96
artists featured, along with their extensive jewelry creations.
Their work was experimental and stimulated originality in
successive generations. Plastics, pearls, brass, copper, silver,
gold, and enamels are among the materials found here in
mini-sculptures and jewelry ornaments for men and women alike. The
author's extensive research uncovers connections among the artists
and documents this important art period and medium. Artists,
collectors, cultural historians, and students all will want to see
the exhibits and own the catalog.
