Per the Smithsonian:
J. Fred Woell was told by the art galleries of New York to use gold or forget it. The artist felt strongly that material should not determine a works value, and so began to create anti-jewelry. He explores themes of consumerism and violence in his humorous assemblages of discarded objects.
