[The following is a summary of a presentation given at the NYU seminar Sterling Modernities: International and American Silver from the Arts and Crafts movement to the present -- Friday, March 15, 2002. For a complete list of all presentations click here ]

Scandinavian Expressions of the Modern and Their Impact
presented by: David Revere McFadden, Chief Curator/Vice President for Collection and Programs - American Craft Museum


Mr. McFadden took us on a tour of Iceland, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark focusing most specifically on the Swedish and Danish impact on Modernist Silver. As with any discussion of this subject matter, Georg Jensen took center stage. One of the most memorable and humorous tidbits shared by Mr. McFadden is the fact that after the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition in California, Hearst bought Mr. Jensen's entire display.
