Well, guys and gals, lucky you—lucky all of us here in Charm City—because opening tonight and continuing to July of 2015 is a gorgeous exhibition at Evergreen Museum and Library (this house in and of itself is a gorgeous exhibition—and my god, if you’ve lived in Baltimore all these years and haven’t seen it, well, shame on you!).
The exhibition is called Repoussé Style Then and Now: A Celebration of the Art of Michael Izrael Galmer. And it will knock your socks off. More than 30 decorative pieces created by the American silversmith will be on display. Some of them you’ve seen in the pages of Glamour Girl in the past, such as here and here, where GG has waxed rhapsodic over the silver and gold cuffs commissioned by Carolyn O’Keefe.
From Carolyn’s press release:
“Galmer has long been inspired by the repoussé art and is known for combining old-world techniques with modern technologies for lushly sculptural, intricately textured works of art. In addition to extraordinary tabletop pieces, three jewelry pieces will be included: The Wild Iris Cuff, The Vineyard Cuff, and The Chrysanthemum Wrap Necklace. All Galmer work, including Repoussé Jewelry, bears the elite, collectible Galmer hallmark.”
Here’s the Bird Goblet:
The reception starts at 6 tonight (Thursday, December 11, 2014) at Evergreen. You’ll be enthralled.
