A Century of Silver and Metalwork from the Margo Grant Walsh Collection features more than one hundred extraordinary examples of design and craftsmanship from throughout the world. Seen together, the work demonstrates Grant Walsh's belief that great design knows no borders and is not restricted to any particularly hallowed generation. The objects on exhibition range from bronze candlesticks to pewter bowls, from a copper and brass teapot to parcel-gilt, sterling silver beakers. All are functional, all are examples of exceptional design, and all reflect Dresser's desire for well-designed, functional objects that reveal their essence through their form and their beauty. ...

Our flagship show in Baltimore is now in full swing! We’re all holding our breath, but so far we’ve been spared by the snowstorm, except for a smattering of flurries this morning. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather through the weekend!
Now that I’ve had a chance to take in more of it, I’ve been struck by the wonderful balance between the old and the new at our Baltimore Show.

Letter from the Editor
For craft aficionados, it is a great joy to walk into the Museum of Modern Art’s “Bauhaus 1919-1933” show and immediately see a display case of ceramic works. Among the introductory pieces was a pot by Marguerite Friedlaender (later Wildenhain) decorated with a bull in slip trailing. This design relates to other linear decoration in painting and drawings also on view. In fact, the pottery, furniture, weavings in various forms from rugs to upholstery to wall hangings, plus metalwork by many individuals but especially Marianne Brandt and stained glass by Josef Albers, all fitted seamlessly with the paintings by ...

The exhibition also includes five artworks from the artist’s new Silver-Plate Series. These new works on paper, completed in collaboration with master printer Cindi Ettinger, include both intaglio and relief prints that have been printed from “found metal”. The found metal, like in Myers’ Disposable Series, is cut and reclaimed from manufactured silver-plated serving trays engraved and stamped with decorative motifs. She searches out discarded trays at yard sales and thrift stores and uses the printmaking medium to transform the incised and textured metal surface into bold graphic representations that highlight and document the patterned designs on these forgotten objects. ...
