EXHIBITION: Arts and Crafts Metalwork from the West Coast and Beyond
EXHIBITION DATES: Thursday, October 2 to Sunday, November 2
Viewed on all Gamble House tours; see Tuesday, Oct. 14 for special event
This special exhibition of Arts and Crafts metalwork objects consists of displays throughout the Gamble House that celebrate the importance of metal as a supporting material in the work of Greene and Greene, along with rarely seen highlights from the Gamble House collection. These are complimented by a selection of works by other west coast craftspeople, brought together by co-curator Bryan Mead, an expert in Arts and Crafts metalwork. A large collection of pots by early 20th century copper artist Dirk Van Erp, given to the Gamble House in 2006, is a special highlight, showing off the breadth of the artistry of this Northern California craftsman.
