Forgers of Metal: George Booth and his Patronage of Metalcraft at Cranbrook

January 27 — April 8, 2001


George Booth commissioned works by some of the finest designers and fabricators working in America during the 1920’s. These artists include Oscar Bach, Frank Koralewsky, Eliel and Eero Saarinen and Samuel Yellin. Booth also collected works by leading European craftsmen including the French designer Edgar Brandt. This exhibition emphasized the artistry of these objects by viewing them outside of their permanent locations and functions.

Forgers of Metal was organized by Cranbrook Art Museum and curated by Sarah Schleuning.
