Metamo’rphosis I

Metamo’rphosis I is the first in a series of exhibitions that will demonstrate how forms and design elements found in the Dumbarton House collections are capable of inspiring the imagination. Five artists were invited to create pieces of jewelry and fine metal ware taking objects in the collections as their starting point.The artists were selected by their peers. Each one is a professor in the field of craft, design, jewelry or metalsmithing. All of them are known for encouraging their students to look at objects or express their ideas in new ways.
