Overview

T he Sewell C. Briggs Museum houses one of the finest collections of American fine and decorative arts; its 25th Silver Anniversary Celebration was celebrated with an exhibition by the famed American silversmith entitled Monumental: Michael Izrael Galmer, Silversmith. Despite having achieved commercial success and becoming one of the country’s leading commission craftsmen - the artist continues to challenge himself by following the impulse to create much larger commemorative and contemporary sculptures. His message resonates internationally with collectors around the world, and the pieces on display at this exhibit featured a complete timeline of his works - most notably many grandiose new sculptures.
