Museum Acquisition
I really wasn't sure how my set of four sake cups titled "Matched Set" would be received at the Metal Museum's recent show "There's No Place Like Home." About a month after the show ended (long after I'd received the works back), I received an email saying they were the 'show-stopper' of the exhibition, and they'd like to purchase them. Wow! The Metal Museum is the only museum in the US dedicated to showing and preserving fine metalwork. It's been going since the 1970's, located in Memphis and exists without any government funding. It has an impressive collection of important works by many metal artists I respect and admire. It is such an honor to have my work displayed among them. And such a different feeling selling my work to a place where I know it will be taken care of and seen by the public. Thank you Metal Museum! And if you're in Memphis, be sure to stop by.
