The Silvermine Guild branched out in 1987 to have a temporary exhibition space at the Stamford Metro Center. In 1988, the Stamford Gallery exhibited a retrospective of work by Jimmy Ernst, Guild artist and son of celebrated artist Max Ernst.
Jimmy Ernst taught at the Silvermine School of Art, and he designed the cover for the 1955 summer session catalogue seen here and his
bio listed in this catalogue demonstrated the range of his career. He had twelve one-man shows in New York City and was an instructor at the Pratt Institute and the Brooklyn College Department of Design. His artwork is represented in the Metropolitan Museum, Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Guggenheim Museum, Chicago Art Institute, Toledo Museum, Toronto Art Gallery, Wadsworth Atheneum, and many more institutions and private collections.
