Contemporary Jewelry in Perspective
Product ID: 13008227
What is contemporary jewelry? What makes it unique? What distinguishes these objects and practices from other visual arts? Contemporary Jewelry in Perspective provides clear definitions, concise history, and cultural context for the form, along with abundant illustrations of an amazing range of work. Featuring notable contributors from around the world, it offers fascinating discussions on creating, collecting, exhibiting, selling, and wearing these pieces, as well as individual essays that present a global perspective on the art over the past 30 to 40 years. Jewelers, designers, students, collectors, and historians will find this essential reading. The book is a joint venture between the Art Jewelry Forum (artjewelryforum.org) and Lark Jewelry & Beading. Review: Buy this book - I love this book!! I bought my copy after a few friends recommended it. The essays are thought provoking and address a wide range of ideas that are circling the jewelry world right now (namely art jewelry). I find the writing is more open and fair-minded than judgmental, which is a breath of fresh air coming from other texts Review: this book is perfect. - I had been salivating over this book since first seeing it at the Tampa Museum of Art. If you are looking for more than photographs, and want more context for your inspiration, this book is perfect.
