The Cutting Edge: Sculptures Carved by
North American Gem Artists
January 15, 2010 to March 31, 2010

The Headley-Whitney Museum is proud to present The Cutting Edge:  Sculptures Carved by North American Gem Artists.  The exhibit features over one hundred pieces by contemporary lapidary artists.  The pieces range from small stand-alone sculptures to beautifully sculpted jewelry, essence bottles that double as jewelry and finely configured mosaic boxes.  The pieces represent a wide range of stone cutting techniques including internal and external carving and intarsia.  These artists have unlocked the secret beauty of gemstones by taking a rough piece and transforming it into a work of art and rarity.

Susan Allen
