Alexander
Calder Jewelry
February 23 – June 15, 2008
The art of Alexander Calder has been celebrated and examined at
some length in numerous exhibitions. However, his work in the field
of jewelry is not so well-known, and when shown has been just a
small component of large survey exhibitions. Indeed, Calder dealt
with this field much as he did in his other work: the jewelry has
the same linear yet three-dimensional aspect as the mobiles, and
the parts that comprise each piece are hammered, shaped, chiseled
and composed in a fashion that precisely echoes the artist’s
creation of his sculpture. This exhibition will consist of approximately
one hundred objects—necklaces, bracelets, pins, earrings,
and crowns.
This exhibition is co-organized by the Norton Museum of Art, West
Palm Beach, Florida, and the Calder Foundation, New York. National
sponsorship of the exhibition has been generously provided by Melvin
and Claire Levine. Local sponsorship of this exhibition is made
possible in part through the generosity of Melvin and Claire Levine,
The Contemporary and Modern Art Council of the Norton Museum of
Art, The Milton and Sheila Fine Endowment for Contemporary Art,
the Dr. Henry and Lois Foster Endowment, and the Michael M. Rea
Endowment. Media support provided by The Palm Beach Post and Palm
Beach Daily News.

The Hunter Gifts
November 17, 2007 – September 7, 2008
This coming season, the Norton Museum of Art will present The
Hunter Gifts, a series of photography exhibitions drawn from
a very recent donation of 162 photographs by Mrs. Irene Hunter
of Delray Beach, Florida and Manchester Village, Vermont.
Including some of the most important photographers of the
twentieth century, this gift adds many important names and
images to the already significant photography holdings at the
Norton Museum. To feature as many photographers as possible, and
to continue the Norton's longstanding commitment to furthering
the visitor's understanding of photographic history, this series
will showcase the work of six international photographers paired
together. It is through these comparisons of generations and
cultures that photography's rich history will be not only
illuminated but greatly expanded. |
