Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
The strange shapes and odd materials forming the jewelry sold in metropolitan arts and crafts fairs is elucidated, explained, and, finally, exhibited in this first populist salute to art jewelry. Even so, notes editor Lewin, it's easy to dismiss the intricacies and meanings of this small-scale sculpture, since it's far removed in design and concept from conventional jewelry. Two essays first examine the influences and underpinnings of wearable art, tracking its beginnings from the 1940s with the formation of the American Crafts Council to its 1990s expressions. But the best way to become acquainted with this melding of precious, natural, and found objects is through the brief biographies and striking color photographs of the work of more than 50 artist practitioners.
