About this Award: This award is given in memory of Wilma Kaemlein, who was a curator at ASM from the 1952 to 1975. Art works winning acquisition awards become part of the museum’s permanent collections. They are chosen for their technique and artistry as well as for the way in which they compare and contrast with other items in our collections.
Juror’s Comments:
Patrick Lyons and Diane Dittemore: We selected this silver pot because it is a type of Native silverwork not represented in ASM collections and it exhibits clean fabrication and design work.
