Join us November 14 - 21, 2022.Nov 14 at 11am Hidden Treasures Opening Reception at NYC Jewelry WeekTravel back in time with renowned gallerist, craft historian, writer, and lecturer Helen Drutt, to shop a trove of jewelry from the storied “back room” of her eponymous Philadelphia gallery. The “back room” was where artists, architects, poets, students, friends, and collectors would meet, often after hours, to converse about art, culture, and the world, well into the night. American Craft Magazine (August/September 1979) stated [The Helen Drutt Gallery] “is to the crafts what Alfred Steiglitz’s 291 Gallery was to photography earlier in this century.” In addition to the opportunity to snag a rare early brooch by Robert Baines, or a 1980s kaleidoscopic bracelet by Judy Onofrio, along with other “hidden treasures”, come explore books and exhibition catalogues from the gallery days and read through examples of Helen’s ongoing correspondence with artists. At 12:00pm on Monday, the Memphis-based Metal Museum will host a very special book-signing of Helen’s latest exhibition RINGS! in our adjacent new space, BOX, with a number of RINGS! artists “on hand” to sign their individual pages. RINGS! originated at Philadelphia’s Moore College of Art before traveling to the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and the Metal Museum. Join the conversation and stop by for a mimosa at our opening reception Monday, November 14th at 11:00am!
