Thomas Gentille Was born in Mansfield, Ohio in 1936 and a resident of New York since 1960. Is an American artist who is represented by nine pieces in the permanent collection of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, more than any other contemporary jeweler. He is a leading exponent of art jewelry worldwide and is one of the leading lights of studio jewelry in the United States. As a master of materials in the late 1950s was the first to use novel combinations, he uses anything that suits his aesthetic; eggshell inlay, wood, pure pigment, aluminum, zinc, resin, pumice, and even sawdust, to create works that are small in scale but monumental in scope. A technical innovator and mentor for many jewelers over the years, Gentille was an early director of the stellar jewelry program at the 92nd Street Y in New York and is the author of Step-by-Step Jewelry (1968), a publication acknowledged by many metalsmiths as a standard text. In 2016 to mark his 80th birthday, Die Neue Sammlung design museum decided to invite the artist jeweler in America to stage the first comprehensive exhibition on his oeuvre. On display will be 180 items of jewelry, drawings and a film conceived and realized by the artist about the two most important cities in his life, namely New York and Munich. A book about this exhibition was published by Arnoldsche, with more than 180 jewelry objects and drawings, this book represents the first comprehensive retrospective of his life's work. It was back in 2001 that Thomas Gentile was awarded the Herbert Hofmann Award in the jewelry section of the Internationale Handwerksmesse, Munich’s annual exhibition of craftsmanship, and since the artist has exhibited regularly in the city. In 2004 he was presented with he Bavarian State Award, in Munich. His pieces are one-offs, which are often unique in their closeness to sculpture and architecture. A remarkable feature is the 'eggshell' technique Gentille has developed, with which he creates astonishing crackle effects. What sets his jeweler apart is new techniques like marbleizing, achieved by crackled eggshell on matchbox sized brooches, and unusual materials like slivers of ivory piano keys. For Gentille, "the story is the materials." His artistry is astonishing considering the scale. No wonder they’re so labor intensive. Each one is more painting or sculpture, with some de Stijl in terms of geometry and palette. Each piece takes six months or longer to make," says Gentile, whose studio is on the Upper East Side. Also featured are Gentille etchings and aquatints. Thomas Gentille Necklace The Metropolitan Museum of Art Egg Shell on Copper necklace Collections: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
