Philadelphia has a rich history of metalwork, and owes much of its early development to the industrial welders who helped shape the city during its settlement. The city has continued to rely on the skills of metalsmiths, who have gradually incorporated ornate design into functional works over the centuries. Thorough the end of January, 2010, The Philadelphia Museum of Art will be showcasing more than 50 works in an exhibit, Wrought & Crafted. This exhibit highlights the Museum’s extensive holdings of 20th- and 21st-century hollow-ware, sculpture and jewelry, documenting the development of metalwork over the past two centuries.
