FOR AN UPCOMING ARTICLE, the Saint Louis Art Museum is seeking information about the silver-smith Maria Regnier (1901-1994), who produced and exhibited silver-ware between 1935 and 1970. Born in Hungary, Regnier arrived in Saint Louis in 1921, studied art and silver-smithing at Washington University there in 1935 and then at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence that summer, and worked in Saint Louis as an art teacher and silversmith until she moved to Savannah in 1957. In 1961 she moved to Camden, Arkansas, where she created jewelry, hollowware, flatware, decorative wares, and personal accessories. During World War II she exhibited at the Georg Jensen showroom in New York City. Marshall Field's, Gump's, Famous-Barr, and other distinguished department stores sold her work. Her silverware is marked with a conjoined MR. Anyone with information about Regnier is asked to contact:
