Artist

Miye Matsukata, born Tokyo, Japan 1922-died Boston, MA 1981

Luce Center Label

In 1968, Miyé Matsukata said, "I would like to maintain a spirit of design that is quiet and free. I feel metal can have a life if it has motion and less rigid confines." With the layering of fluid shapes, this bracelet assumes the lightness she hoped to achieve.
