Modernism in American Silver: 20th-Century Design: a groundbreaking exhibition that explores the aesthetic richness and cultural significance of modern silver design in America between 1925 and 2000, features more than two hundred magnificent works that explore the development of the American silver industry’s creative forays into modernist design. The exhibit charts the stylistic design history of modern American production silver while exploring the economic and cultural factors that influenced silver design, manufacture, and marketing across more than seven decades. The exhibition was organized by The Dallas Museum of Art and co-curated by Kevin W. Tucker, The Margot B. Perot Curator of Decorative Arts and Design of the Dallas Museum of Art, who also serves as the DMA project director; and by independent scholar Jewel Stern and Charles L. Venable, deputy director for collections and programs at the Cleveland Museum of Modern Art
