Selections from our Master Metalsmiths

Master Metalsmiths

The Master Metalsmith series began in 1984 as a way for the Metal Museum to honor the most influential metal artists of the day.  In the years since its inception it has brought the work of more than twenty internationally acclaimed metalsmiths to Memphis for solo exhibitions.  The honor of being chosen as a Metal Museum Master Metalsmith is now highly esteemed in the field.
