This presentation showcases a wide variety of works from the museum’s important Northwest studio jewelry collection in a reimagined display that highlights their technical and creative artistry.
The collection of studio art jewelry at TAM is focused on Northwest jewelry artists but includes selected works by national and international artists who are important influences for the artists of the region. The artworks range from the streamlined modernist works of the 1940s and 1950s through the narrative, found object, and funk aesthetics that followed, to contemporary conceptual jewelry informed by current events and ideas. Organized by Tacoma Art Museum.
