Hosted by the New England Chapter | 3 AIA CES Learning Units|Elective
Join our New England Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art at RISD Museum’s exhibit Gorham Silver: Designing Brilliance 1850-1970 as we are granted a private introduction on the exhibit by Elizabeth A. William, RISD’s Curator of Decorative Arts and Design, access to the special exhibition, and the entire museum preceding a private ICAA prosecco reception.
Gorham Silver: Designing Brilliance 1850-1970 casts new light on the legacy of this distinctive company, established in 1831 in Providence, Rhode Island. Home to the largest collection of Gorham, the RISD Museum presents exceptional silver and mixed-metal wares, reflecting the industry, artistry, innovation, and technology of the manufactory for 120 years. Adeptly coupling art and industry, Gorham boldly rose from a small firm to become the largest silver company in the world, putting uniquely American design on the international stage. Creating everything from commissioned presentation pieces to show-stoppers for the dining room, Gorham responded to the era’s desire to celebrate, feast, socialize, honor, and simply enjoy the everyday in style. Accompanied by a major publication (Rizzoli) with stunning new imagery and recent research, the exhibition will travel to the Cincinnati Art Museum and The Mint Museum.
