Beskrivning
Despite being one of the most influential - and indeed most eccentric - of the American modernist jewellers, Sam Kramer (1913-1964) has received little recognition. His expressive, organic work and surreal workshop, located on West 8th Street in New York's Greenwich Village, paved the way for other mid-twentieth century metalsmiths, and for many more working today. Sam Kramer: Jeweler on the Edge investigates Kramer as both a seminal artist and a cult personality. Through lavish colour photographs of rarely seen works as well as newly discovered archival material, the story of this unique individual is told against a backdrop of post-Second World War America, from the late 1940s to the early 1960s. Mirroring both the existential angst and quirky humour of the Beat Generation, Sam Kramer embodied the iconoclastic spirit of his era.

Recensioner i media

"With a handsome design that combines bold graphics and typefaces and suits its audacious subject, vintage photos that bring Kramer and his world to life, and high quality jewelry images from Arnoldsche, the book is the perfect size to curl up with—and to conjure your own surrealistic dreams." -- Toni Greenbaum, The Magazine Antiques
