Answer:
As the only magazine of its kind, Metalsmith is many things to many people. In an effort to encourage not only excellence in practice and design but also to stimulate dialogue and critical thinking in the field of metalwork, we will on occasion print articles that focus less on individual practitioners and more on broader issues regarding: the history of the art form, questions about some of our basic assumptions about jewelry, and a far ranging discussion of ideas regarding the future of the field. This article is the first in a two part series investigating some of the history of metalwork and some ideas concerning the traditional and contemporary functions of jewelry.The images reproduced herein are meant to serve not so much as illustrations of specific points but rather as examples of the variety of contemporary metalwork and its approaches. These images are also a representative sampling of some of the work of jewelry recently donated to the Charles A. Wustum Museum of Art in Racine, Wisconsin, by Karen Johnson Boyd. We can only hope that a gift of such scope and aesthetic importance bodes well for both the Wustum and other public collections throughout the country. Whenever collections of metalwork achieve their well deserved place in museums and galleries everyone in the field will benefit.
