A.J. King: Exquisite Miniatures

Blue Grouse by Allen James King, painted wood. Mass Audubon Collection.

Our spring exhibition will feature the unmatched miniature bird carvings of A. J. King (1881-1963). King was the preeminent miniature bird carver of his era, and his work is highly prized by collectors today. Mass Audubon holds the most important collection of his work, including more than 100 carvings, as well as works in a variety of other mediums: watercolors, etchings, relief prints and extraordinarily detailed jewelry designs. Curated by Gigi Hopkins, A. J. King: Exquisite Miniatures will be the first comprehensive exhibition featuring this remarkable artist.
