THE 2009 J. SANFORD SALTUS AWARD - New York (USA)
The British sculptor and medal artist, Ron Dutton was awarded with the J. Sanford Saltus Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Art of the Medal. The award was given to the artist during the award ceremony at the American Numismatic Society on February 12, 2009.
Philip Attwood, Keeper of the Coin and Medal Department at the British Museum and President of the British Art Medal Society, writes: "Ron Dutton has remained at the forefront of this extraordinary development, working to communicate the potential of the medal as a medium of artistic expression and at the same time producing a body of work that is astonishing in its variety. One essential theme running through his very diverse oeuvre is the artist’s self-identifi cation with the natural world. Whether it be a ploughed fi eld or the swooping of a bird, the microscopic or the cosmic, Dutton compels us to see nature afresh through his eyes – and to ponder the role that humanity plays within nature."
