Join contemporary jewelry artist Robert Baines for a humorous performative lecture and a Q&A on the occasion of the exhibition “Fake News and True Love: Fourteen Stories by Robert Baines”.
Australian goldsmith Robert Baines has shaped the fields of contemporary jewelry and jewelry history for over forty years. In 2010, he was named a Living Treasure: Master of Australian Craft. In addition to teaching and maintaining his own contemporary jewelry practice, he studied ancient jewelry at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and masterworks in several other international institutions. Through these experiences, he has essentially learned to brilliantly copy jewelry—from the ancient to the modern. Baines’ metalsmithing abilities and keen sense of humor make this a lecture not to be missed.
