Luxury Jewellery Created by Warhol, Picasso and Others in Paris (until 8. 7. 2018)
Luxurious exhibition showing jewellery made by exceptional personalities
Diane Venet, wife of the famous sculptor, Bernera Veneta, collected jewellery created by artists for more than 30 years; she is now exhibiting her 230-piece collection in Paris, together with other jewellery lent by galleries, collectors and families of famous artists. In chronological order and according to theme, jewellery created by 150 artists will be exhibited. Who was in the viewfinder of Diane Venet? Alexander Calder, Jeff Koons, Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, Niki de Saint Phalle, or Louise Bourgeois, but also a lot of modern and contemporary artists. They will all be given due attention.
During the luxurious museum walk the presented jewellery resonates with other monumental works of art of great names. This exhibition is a reflection of history of the Museum of Applied Art and passion of Diane Venet, creating a multi-platform entertainment for a very discerning clientele. The entire set design has been entrusted to interior designer, Antoine Plazanet and graphic designers.
Real gems of Salvador Dali or Andy Warhol himself
What will you be able to see? For example a striking, luxurious surrealistic teaspoon with watch and a comb in one by Salvador Dali, as his signature style. Or Andy Warhol´s watch, screens by Man Ray, world of jewellery by Salvador Dali, or the dreamlike world of Jean Cocteau or Leonor Fini. The exhibition concludes by the very active current English scene of “Young British Artists”, represented for example by Damien Hirst or the Chapman brothers, artists and magnificent provocateurs, who appeared in the 1990s. The French scene is represented by Claude Lévêque or Jean-Luc Moulène.
