302 Limited Edition Nest Hand Pin, 2007 Silver, carved acrylic, brass, and bronze; 2 x 2 in. Collection of Thomas Mann ART IN CONTEMPORARY LOUISIANA THOMAS MANN b. 1947, Allentown, Pennsylvania Thomas Mann is an internationally recognized jewelry maker, sculptor, designer, and craft instructor who has lived and worked in New Orleans since 1987. Mann’s creative vision encompasses a variety of media and materials, commonly crossing the boundaries between art and craft, between jewelry and sculpture. He opened Thomas Mann Design and Gallery I/O on Magazine Street in 1988. Reflecting Mann’s national profile and his considerable influence, Lloyd E. Herman, former director of the Smithsonian Institution’s Renwick Gallery, wrote in 2001 that Mann “has been in the vanguard of American art jewelry design for nearly three decades. His compositions were among the first to focus not on the intrinsic value of precious metals and gemstones, but rather on idea and content.” JRG  http://www.knowla.org/entry.php?rec=1305 http://www.knowla.org/entry.php?rec=1305
