Albert Paley's monumental sculpture, Threshold, was dedicated on October 30, 2006, in Rochester, New York. Located in front of the new headquarters for the Klein Steel Service Inc., it was commissioned by the company and its CEO, Joe Klein, and it commemorates the long-standing professional and personal relationship between Albert Paley and Joe Klein. The book documents the history of Klein Steel from its origins in post-World War II Rochester to the present day. In doing so, the city of Rochester is featured as is the background of the steel industry in the United States. Joe Klein's education, busines acumen and his commitment to the arts and creativity is examined, as is his friendship with Albert Paley, covering over 35 years. The artist's evolution is framed within the context of patronage in the arts and corporate support of the arts, as well as against the background of recent public art and site-specific sculpture. Paley's work has been widely published, collected, and exhibited since the mid-1970s. He is constantly responding to new challenges and his sculpture has never ceased to evolve. This story of the making of Threshold reaffirms his search for new modes of creativity, as well as the dialogue between sculpture and architecture at the same time. This documents the unique bond between a chief executive officer and an artist.

It was in the rolling hills and small cities of western New York State that the studio craft movement took root and thrived. In the 1900's the region was home to Charles Fergus Binns' New York State School of Clay-Working at Alfred University, Elbert Hubbard's Roycroft community, Gustav Stickley's furniture and Steuben's Glass Works in Corning. In the mid-to late 20th century Alfred nourished such important ceramists as Daniel Rhodes, Robert Turner, and Anne Currier. In 1950 the School for American Craftsman (SAC) moved to Rochester, attracting artists including John Prip, Ronald Pearson who added to what is still today a vibrant community. AUTHOR: Barabara Lovenheim, journalist and author, has written on the arts and lifestyle for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The International Herald Tribune and many national magazines. Paul J. Smith, Director Emeritus of the American Craft Museum (now Museum of Arts and Design) has been involved with the craft and design field for more than 50 years. 107 colour & 21 b/w illustrations

The Drutt Collection , encompassing 800 jewellery objects and drawings by more than 170 world-famous artists from 1963 to the present, documents the profound changes that have taken place since the 1960s in the way jewellery is perceived. At that time artists broke with the conventional jewellery tradition to view their works in the broader context of overall movements in painting, sculpture and architecture. By then what counted was artistic intention rather than the market value of the materials used. This publication shows the collection as a whole, with each piece illustrated, and a selection of over 200 objects presented in large-scale illustrations and extensively analysed by Cindi Strauss, curator of contemporary applied arts and design at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. In addition, the author demonstrates the linkage of contemporary jewellery and modern art in an essay on the subject. Further, a detailed chronological history of contemporary jewellery and artist biographies provide invaluable information. Helen Williams Drutt founded the celebrated Helen Drutt Gallery in Philadelphia, which specialised in contemporary jewellery and ceramics. She lectures worldwide, has received several awards and is the author of numerous publications. She is indeed an important mediatrix of culture. Artists include: Gijs Bakker, Manfred Bischoff, Claus Bury, Peter Chang, Arline Fisch, William Harper, Yasuki Hiramatsu, Hermann Jünger, Otto Künzli, Stanley Lechtzin, Fritz Maierhofer, Bruno Martinazzi, Breon O'Casey, Pavel Opocenský, Albert Paley, Wendy Ramshaw, Marjorie Schick, Bernhard Schobinger, Olaf Skoogfors, Peter Skubic, Robert Smit, Emmy van Leersum, Tone Vigeland, David Watkins Exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX, USA, from 23 September 2007 to 21 January 2008, travelling to Washington D.C., and Tacoma, WA.

For Albert Paley, the definitive turning point in his studio career--from metalsmithing on the intimate scale to fabrication on the monumental scale of public artworks--came in 1973 when he won the commission for the gates of the Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C. Albert Paley: Sculpture, Drawings, Graphics and Decorative Arts includes a spectrum of Paley's works, maquettes, and proposals for major commissions, decorative arts, drawings, prints, and sculpture. Paley's projects range from the 260-foot bridge railings for the Main Street Redevelopment Project in his home, Rochester, New York, to the sculptural ornament of a gilt opera box handle for a Texas cultural compex. He orchestrates a team of professionals at his studio to create titanic sculptures, heroic archways, massive gates, and human-scaled functional objects such as ceremonial tables, desks, or lamps.
