New exhibition “June Schwarcz: Invention and Variation” opens at the Renwick Gallery

The inventive designs and technical innovations of pioneering enamelist June Schwarcz transformed 20th-century enameling and profoundly influenced a new generation of artists. Schwarcz created a remarkably varied body of work in a career spanning more than 60 years, continually breaking new ground through developing new processes and incorporating unorthodox influences into her work.
