Praise for New Directions in Jewellery 2
"There is much to enjoy within these pages: marvel at the variety, applaud the ambition, question the coherence, acknowledge the audacity of the whole thing, and look forward to the next volume!"Association for Contemporary Jewellery
New Directions in Jewellery II
New Directions in Jewellery II is an astonishing collection of the most exciting jewellery today, exploring the increasingly varied ways in which the boundaries of design are being extended and challenged by contemporary makers.
New Directions in Jewellery II showcases an international array of makers and designers. From established jewellers like Karl Fritsch, Ted Noten and Monika Brugger, to exciting emerging talents like Madeleine Furness and Carla Nuis, the captivating works shown here, each in their own way challenge and engage with traditional conceptions of adornment. Focusing on jewellery as an experimental practice that engages with fine art, craft, design, fashion and popular culture, this book is an essential document of an ever-broadening discipline.
This rich visual survey profiles over 40 designers and also features an essay by prominent maker and academic Lin Cheung. From innovative uses of form and material, to conceptual pieces that critique the cultural and social meanings that have built up around the wearing and manufacture of jewellery— New Directions in Jewellery II is a vibrant study of the contemporary jewellery scene.
Following the success of the acclaimed New Directions in Jewellery, this second volume is as inspired, covetable and beautiful as the jewels it contains. New Directions in Jewellery II is a radical take on this age old art-form.
