Exhibitions. Lifetime Achievements from the American Craft Council College of Fellows in Metal, 1993
Scope and Contents note
Few places existed to exhibit contemporary silver at the beginning of Miller’s career, notable exceptions were the Cleveland Museum of Art’s May Show and Wichita Art Association’s National Decorative Arts and Ceramics Exhibition. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Miller’s work was mostly confined to juried exhibitions. As his reputation grew, museums and institutes sought his pieces for comprehensive exhibitions. Only two of Miller’s solo exhibitions are documented in this series, "Holloware by Frederick A. Miller" at the Little Gallery of the Museum of Contemporary Crafts, New York in 1961, and "Featured Object" at the National Museum of American Art in 1989. This series contains the correspondence, entry cards, catalogs, and other materials relating to the exhibitions which span over forty years.
