| RAM's metal collection focuses on American Studio Jewelry, rather than holloware and architectural metal work. They document the major movements of American studio jewelry ranging from a concern with semi-precious material, to more sculptural forms that challenge the relationship between art and the body and finally today's preoccupation with the narrative and the figure. Artists such as Arline Fisch, Richard Mafong, Earl Pardon, and Robert Ebendorf employed a variety of techniques when they created these pieces, ranging from a playful exploration of color to the use of natural and industrial objects as raw materials. |
