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.
