Works (plural) in gold...ARE exhibited... (if referring to individual works of art)

Works/are would be correct
Work/in would be correct
but not Work/are
Note:
Work in X, Y, and Z is exhibited... implies this is one body of work.
Works in X, Y, and Z are exhibited ... emphasizes different pieces of diverse materials.

I hope this helps...I looked on Wikipedia and typed in work, then went to the section of art and fine works. They used the word work as A piece of art. So I would think that you would use works.

I believe "works" would be the correct plural noun.
An artist exhibits his body of work, but his works are on display in gallery.

Use "works" instead of "work," and remove the comma after
"stones."

The first guy is right... say works and not work.

depends if you mean one work, or several. if more than one should be works, if not then you are correct
