Ulysses Grant Dietz of Newark Museum
Newark Museum curator Ulysses Grant Dietz will speak on American silver this Tuesday at Rago Arts and Auction Center in Lambertville.
“Silver in America 1840-1940: Jewelry’s Sister Industry in America’s Gilded Age” wil look at the development of silver production from the 1840s, when foreign competition was first halted, to World War II, when silver manufacturing began its long slow decline. Dietz will discuss the impact that silver — in all its diverse forms, fashions and functions — has had on the everyday life of the American home.
Dietz has been the curator of Decorative Arts at Newark Museum since 1980.
