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. 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.
