Modernism in American Silver, 20th Century Design

By Jewel Stern

Published by Yale University Press and Dallas Museum of Art.  Published on the occasion of an exhibition.

Hardcover with dustcover, 392 pages, 9.25 x 12.25 inches.

From the dustcover:  From teaspoons to cocktail shakers to unique objects designed for exhibitions, this stunning hardcover catalog examines the influence of modernism on industrially produced silver objects made in the United States from 1925 to 2000.

It focuses on the works of widely recognized designers such as Michael Graves, Ilonka Karasz, Erik Magnussen, Richard Meier, Elsa Peretti, Eliel Saarinen, Robert Venturi and offers important revelations about the careers of others such as Kurt Eric Christoffersen, Donald Colflesh, Helen Hughes Dulany, Robert King, Belle Kogan, Tommi Parzinger, John Prip, and others who were seldom recognized by name yet were instrumental in shaping contemporary silver objects.

See and read about the connections to European modernism, streamlined design, the Scandinavian aesthetic, Space Age imagery in post-war silver design, the designer-craftsman, architect-designed silver and more."
