Harlan Butt: Master Metalsmith; Exhibition 2002
Sept. 22 - Dec. 1, 2002
National Ornamental Metal Museum
Memphis, TN
Each year, in conjunction with Repair Days, the Metal Museum presents a one-person retrospective of work by an American metal artist who is an acknowledged master. Harlan Butt, the 2002 Master Metalsmith, has exhibited his enamelwork both nationally and internationally for over twenty-five years. Elected a Fellow by the American Craft Council, he has been Regents Professor at the University of North Texas in Denton where he has taught since 1976.
He is internationally known for his enameled vessels - writing boxes, vases, tea caddies, chalices - all of which reflect his awareness of the Zen Buddhist concept of emptiness. For the past several years he has been engaged in a series of enamel works under the title "The Earth Beneath Our Feet". This catalog shows the pieces on exhibition with explanations.
15 Pages, 9 x 9 (Paperback), color photos
