The SCAD Museum of Art presents its latest exhibition, “Ring Redux: The Susan Grant Lewin Collection,” featuring more than 100 avant-garde rings by artists who have reinvented the age-old and enduring jewelry form with a distinctively contemporary sensibility. The exhibition high-lights exceptional acquisitions made across more than five decades by Susan Grant Lewin, one of the most influential collectors of 20th- and 21st-century art jewelry. Reflecting Lewin’s openness to new artistic ideas, the collection reveals the pluralism of contemporary jewelry, resonating with aesthetic developments in art and design, craft and technology.

“Ring Redux” demonstrates the featured artists’ thought-provoking ideas, mastery of both traditional and unconventional materials, and innovative techniques, evincing the individualism and technical virtuosity of jewelers who have imaginatively created unique objects imbued with great vitality. Lewin’s collection includes works dating from the 1950s to the present by international luminaries.

“’With Ring Redux’ and its accompanying catalog, I have the immense honor of sharing my decades-long work to center and celebrate international jewelry visionaries as the true artists they are,” Lewin said. “I am grateful to Ursula Ilse-Neuman, President Wallace, SCAD Museum of Art associate curator Ben Tollefson, the artists included in the exhibition, and the entire SCAD community for the opportunity to share these exemplary works. It is my hope that their presentation in this exhibition, and later in the museum’s permanent collection, will serve to inspire creative thought and production for generations to come.”

“Ring Redux” is the second exhibition of Lewin’s vast collection hosted by the SCAD Museum of Art and a testament to the longstanding friendship cultivated between Lewin and the university. Lewin’s affinity for SCAD and Savannah dates back to her time as architecture editor for House Beautiful Magazine and her frequent travels to the Hostess City to chronicle its historic architecture and preservation works.

With its premier contemporary art museum, SCAD — home to the largest jewelry design program in the U.S. — offers the perfect venue to showcase Lewin’s collection to the next generation of artists, designers, collectors, and enthusiasts. On view August 26, 2021–January 30, 2022, in the museum’s André Leon Talley Gallery, “Ring Redux” is guest curated by Ursula Ilse-Neuman and organized by SCAD Museum of Art associate curator Ben Tollefson.

Inside the wonderous @jmkac Art Preserve in @visit Inside the wonderous @jmkac Art Preserve in @visitsheboygan @travelwisconsin. Opened 1 year ago, the museum is the only of its kind, dedicated to the display and preservation of art environments.
What are art environments? When an artist’s work takes over their studio, home, yard and surroundings and becomes the environment in which the artist lives, that’s an art environment.
A high percentage of these art environments can be found in the upper midwest, and a high percentage of those in #wisconsin, making the Art Preserve both a globally and locally focused institution.
Also true to form for Wisconsin, guests are greeted by a bar upon entry serving a draft beer named after a legendary art environment creator, Fred Smith. It’s damn good. Light. Crisp. Refreshing.
