 Edward Hodges Baily, designer; John Mortimer and John Samuel Hunt, silversmiths; Caviar Pail, 1841 The names of Mortimer and Hunt warranted much praise in the 19th century as Britain’s most recognizable artistic partnership in the creation of English silver. Their caviar pail is a tour de force in silver. The base is formed from three mermen who kneel on a bed of rocks and support a beautiful bell-shaped conch. The object’s asymmetrical design reflects the rococo style of the 18th century, and its intricate detailing is representative of Mortimer and Hunt’s mastery of the medium. Stop by the Scaife galleries to see this functional and lavish object d’art!

 City Theater Presents... A Picasso
|
A Picasso is a two-character drama of art and intrigue
set in Paris during World War II. Directed by Stuart Carden, it
runs on City Theatre’s intimate Lester Hamburg Studio stage
from November 9 through December 17, 2006. A Picasso unfolds
like a cat-and-mouse game with sly humor and suspense. The setting
is 1941, when German troops occupy France. In a vault beneath a
Paris street, a singular conflict takes place between the ministry
of culture’s Miss Fischer (Rebecca Harris) and the artist
Pablo Picasso (Mark Zeisler). Beautiful and pragmatic, Miss Fischer
interrogates the defiant Picasso, trying to authenticate three portraits.
With his work at stake, Picasso draws Miss Fischer into a negotiation
marked by mutual manipulation, unexpected revelations, and a surprising
final intrigue.
