From teaspoons to cocktail shakers to unique objects designed for exhibitions, this stunning catalogue exmines 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 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 catalogue to document the scope of progressive design in American manufactured silver of the twentieth century. |
