Netsuke: Miniature Masterpieces from Japan
Ending soon
bristolmuseums.org.uk For the first time, 75 netsuke from Bristol’s collection will go on display in the Eastern Art Gallery.
These finely carved miniature sculptures were Japan’s solution to a lack of pockets in men’s kimono and other clothing.
Each one is unique and they depict a huge range of subjects from Japanese popular culture – animals, mythical creatures and people as well legendary gods and heroes. Marvel at the breathtaking carving skills and the huge range of stories they tell.
During the Edo Period (1603-1868), men would hang small personal items on woven silk cords and tuck them into their sashes at the waist. Netsuke acted as toggles to stop the suspended objects from slipping.
When western clothing with pockets became increasingly fashionable in the Meiji Period (1868-1912), there was a declining demand for them. Carvers turned their skills toward intricate ornamental carvings called okimono. As purely decorative items, okimono usually have more delicate parts and are slightly larger than netsuke.
Both netsuke and okimono offer a fascinating glimpse into popular Japanese culture.

Misshapes: The Making of Tatty Devine
brightonmuseums.org.uk/hove/exhibitions
Misshapes: The Making of Tatty Devine, features over 100 pieces from the past 20 years, from the early leather cuffs and piano belts to giant two metre versions of their ‘greatest hits’ including a lobster, their magpies and a huge banana, alongside sketchbooks, ephemera and two new films. Tatty Devine’s founders Rosie Wolfenden and Harriet Vine set up a market stall in Spitalfields Market in the mid 1990s. Together they challenged jewellery conventions and invested in a laser cutting machine, going on to create personality-packed jewellery much loved and still culturally relevant 20 years on.

The Galloway Hoard: Viking-age Treasure

The Galloway Hoard was discovered by a metal-detectorist in 2014 on what is now Church of Scotland land at Balmaghie in Kirkcudbrightshire. The Hoard was allocated to National Museums Scotland in 2017 and a successful fundraising campaign supported by the National Heritage Memorial Fund and Artfund saved the Hoard for the nation. The Hoard contains the richest collection of rare and unique Viking-age objects ever found in Britain or Ireland. It is of international significance and will transform our understanding of this period of Scottish history.

The world of Stonehenge
britishmuseum.org/exhibitions/world-stonehenge
Shrouded in layers of speculation and folklore, this iconic British monument has spurred myths and legends that persist today. In this special exhibition, the British Museum will reveal the secrets of Stonehenge, shining a light on its purpose, cultural power and the people that created it.
The human story behind the stones reveals itself through a variety of fascinating objects. Among these are stone axes from the North Italian Alps, stunning gold jewellery and astonishing examples of early metalwork including the Nebra Sky Disc – the world's oldest surviving map of the stars. A remarkably preserved 4,000-year-old timber circle dubbed Seahenge also takes centre stage in the show, on loan for the very first time. All these objects offer important clues about the beliefs, rituals, and complex worldview of Neolithic people, helping to build a vivid sense of life for Europe's earliest ancestors.

Most of the assembled exemplars have been handed down through families for generations and seldom loaned for public display. Their range reflects successive design evolutions in the format, prompted by monarchic taste, societal shifts and the influence from other art forms, through to contemporary jewellers redefining tiaras today.

Vision & Virtuosity by Tiffany & Co.
saatchigallery.com/exhibition/vision_virtuosity_by_tiffany_co
A visual chronicle of the storied jeweller since its founding in New York City in 1837, “Vision & Virtuosity” takes visitors on a journey through everything from archival high jewellery designs, Tiffany’s famed window displays and its recently acquired Empire Diamond of over 80 carats to important relics of popular culture such as the original script from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It is a celebration of Tiffany’s authority as the purveyor of the world’s finest diamonds and a showcase of how two core values—vision and virtuosity—have guided the House for 185 years.
An accompanying exhibition catalogue, available in two sizes, presents the exhibition’s highlights, showcasing creations by everyone from Louis Comfort Tiffany and Gene Moore to Jean Schlumberger, Elsa Peretti, Paloma Picasso, John Loring, and the House’s most influential visionaries. With a foreword by the late Andre Leon Talley and text by Vivienne Becker, the 160-page text is published by Assouline New York and will be available in the exhibition’s gift shop, as well as at Tiffany’s Old Bond Street store, beginning on June 10, 2022.

Thetford
The Thetford Treasure
Extended to 1 July 2022
museums.norfolk.gov.uk/ancient-house/whats-on/ This display shows 11 items of the Thetford Treasure found at Gallows Hill, Thetford in 1979.
The Thetford Treasure was found by metal detectorists Arthur and Greta Brooks in 1979 and consists of 44 pieces of jewellery, 33 silver spoons and a shale jewellery box. The treasure was buried in around 390 AD when opposition to religious cults was rife. The treasure was not declared straight away so the opportunity to study the site where it was found was sadly lost. This will be the first-time items from the hoard have been on display in the town’s museum since 2008.
This special exhibition will include items such as the gold belt-buckle, a gold chain necklace, gold bracelets, gold finger rings, a pendant, a silver strainer and inscribed silver spoons. They represent exquisite workmanship both in terms of their manufacture and their decoration; many pieces detail inscriptions and depictions connected to Roman mythology. The imagery featured on some of the objects connect to Roman deities including Faunus, Bacchus and Diana.
Other objects in the exhibition highlight the importance of recording archaeological discoveries in helping us understand our past, using the Portable Antiquities Scheme. The finds on display include a large assemblage of Roman pewter and glass from a Roman temple site in Hockwold-cum-Wilton.

Mit Eigensinn* Schmuck aus Österreich. Künstlerinnen im fokus
With obstinacy* Jewellery from Austria. Artists in focus
ooemuseen-at.translate.goog/museen-in-ooe/veranstaltungen
With a focus on female protagonists from the early days of avant-garde jewellery, the synopsis of numerous jewellery objects, sculptural and conceptual works offers an exciting insight into Austrian jewellery creation from the 1970s to the present. The starting point for the selection of the works is the diverse and open approaches of an exciting and heterogeneous scene, as it has developed in Austria due to specific conditions. To this day, this "new", experimental view of jewellery not only works through its terminology, but also manifests itself in the use of "non-jewellery" materials and techniques. Usually one concept is in the foreground: the medium for the statement is jewellery in all its radicalism and sensuality. Away from the purely decorative, pieces of jewellery become independent and idiosyncratic objects.
A catalogue accompanies the exhibition.

A Queen’s Jewellery Box: 50 Years on the Throne Told in Jewellery
kongernessamling.dk
This special exhibition will mark the 50th anniversary in 2022 of Her Majesty the Queen's reign.
The Queen has a very large jewellery collection, which she uses very consciously and actively - and with care and consideration. For Her Majesty, jewels are not just jewellery. They are symbols and bearers of memories, friendships, and continuity, of life as Denmark's monarch through 50 years and 50 years of Danish history.
For the first time ever, the exhibition presents over 200 well-known and lesser-known pieces of jewellery from The Queen's collection. Each jewel in the exhibition carries a story and refers to one or more private or official events during The Queen's 50-year reign.
As a very special experience in the exhibition, The Queen herself has agreed to provide a voice for the audio guide that visitors are given. With the audio guide in hand, visitors can hear The Queen herself talk about selected jewellery and events throughout the exhibition.

Makabre Mesterværker
Macabre Masterpieces
msj.dk/udstillinger/makabre-mestervaerker
Makabre Mesterværker tackles an often taboo but eternally topical subject, namely the staging and artistic treatment of death.
The exhibition presents a selection of exclusive jewellery created by leading Danish and foreign goldsmiths, silversmiths and jewellery designers in a surprising encounter with prehistoric and historic objects from the museum's own collection and on loan from museums at home and abroad.
The works on display together form a journey into the dimensions of death, with narratives that begin violently and with the triumph of death. The journey moves around many cultures and different times, following its own trail where time inevitably runs out, the body perishes, and where grief and ritual find a place alongside notions of an afterlife and resurrection. Join us on a thought-provoking journey studded with chains, body parts, skulls, crosses and precious objects.
The exhibition is the result of a collaboration between Museum Sønderjylland, jewellery writer Nina Hald, who has curated the exhibition, and jeweller Bodil Binner. Most of the modern jewellery was created especially for the exhibition.

Strength and gold - Vikings in the east
vejlemuseerne.dk
The enormous gold treasure hoard from Vindelev, consisting of almost 1 kg of gold, including some huge medallions the size of saucers, which was excavated in September 2021, plays the main role in this exhibition. It displays the magnificent find for the first time and tells the story of the prelude to the Viking Age and Harald Bluetooth's alliances in present-day Poland. "The stories of the Vikings' pillaging raids in England have been told countless times. We want to tell the story in depth and explore the fascinating cultural encounters and alliances that created the Danish Viking kings' power base" says Charlotta Lindblom, Archaeologist and Curator at the Vejle Museums, and continues: "This exhibition shows the very latest knowledge about the run-up to the Viking Age as well as Harald Bluetooth's eastern connections. These connections are shown in the exhibition's many fantastic finds from Denmark and Poland."
The exhibition is a collaboration with Moesgaard Museum, which will have an exhibition about other aspects of the Vikings' travels to the east.

This exceptional exhibition retraces the 3000 years of Pre-Columbian civilizations, up to the mystery of Machu Picchu.
Masterpieces and symbolic objects, more than 190 original pieces from one of the greatest Peruvian museums, are reunited for the first time, some of which have never previously leftf Peru, will be on display: a headdress, a funerary mask, an imperial trousseau, a silver crown, and one of the most impressive gold collections ever exhibited.
In a surprising and immersive setting, immerse yourself in the enchanting environment of the Incas, heirs to the ecological, technological and artistic achievements of the civilisations of ancient Peru. Beyond the traditional exhibition of remarkable archaeological objects, the exhibition is a true immersive experience in the universe of the societies of ancient Peru that shaped the great history of the Andean civilization for more than 3000 years. In line with the desire to create emotions and meaning, the exhibition proposes innovative solutions to better display and communicate the tangible and intangible heritage that Peru and its museums preserve.
Augmented reality, which integrates visual and audible digital content (texts, images, videos, 3D animated objects), makes it possible to combine virtual and real objects; while reality literally allows the visitor to enter a virtual monumental environment. You can't travel to Peru, Machu Picchu comes to you! The Experience offers the very first Machu Picchu expedition in virtual reality.

The exhibition Végétal – L’École de la Beauté affirms the beauty of nature and celebrates the timeless characteristics of plants in an intersection of visions, eras and media, inviting the visitor to look at nature anew through the universal prism of art and beauty. As the project initiator, Maison Chaumet has drawn on its vast heritage, one of the most important in the history of jewellery in Europe, to spotlight its naturalist identity and botanist perspective in parallel with artistic forms that are also based on the botanical. Nearly 400 works offer an enlightening exploration of 7,000 years of art and science related through the dialogue between painting, sculpture, textiles, photography and furniture, along with nearly 80 jewellery objects from Chaumet and other houses. This unprecedented and ambitious exhibition will take place with the support of the Beaux-Arts de Paris and with the exceptional support of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris, the Musée d’Orsay and the Musée du Louvre.

Following the death of the collector and art lover, these works moved to the Römisch-Germanisches Museum in Cologne.

The exhibition focuses on people and their need to express themselves through clothing, jewellery, but also permanent physical changes such as tattoos.
The range of meanings of these jewellery elements is as great as their diversity: for jewellery is not only a sign of social belonging, but also an expression of individuality and a suitable means of expressing one's status or wealth.
The exhibition will convey this cross-cultural and cross-epochal range of forms of adornment with the human being at the centre in an atmospheric and glamorous way with national and international exhibits.

The extensive collections of the Allard Pierson Amsterdam and the Braunschweigisches Landesmuseum, as well as the Badisches Landesmuseum are further enriched by loans from international Art Nouveau collections such as the Königlichen Museen in Brussels. Among these loans are unique objects by well-known Art Nouveau artists such as Gustav Klimt, Franz von Stuck, René Lalique, Jan Toorop, and Aubrey Beardsley, from whom a pen drawing, previously unknown, of a Greek goddess of vengeance, one of the Erinnyes, will be presented to the public for the first time. Using large-format paintings, artistic bronze figures, exquisite gold jewellery, and high-quality ceramics, in addition to the accompanying socio-historical trail, the exhibition presents the ambivalences of an eventful time and spans an arc to the present because many of the socio-political questions of that time are once again highly topical today.

Jewellery & Image. The GRASSI Adorns You
grassimak.de/en/museum
Almost unnoticed, a collection of contemporary jewellery has grown in the museum over the last decades, which is now coming into the public eye. The objects attest to the gradual emancipation of jewellery design as an autonomous form of artistic expression. But what are brooches, rings, and necklaces without one to wear them? Jewellery can only be realised on the body, as a representation of the self and/or as a symbol of perception to the outside world. Thus, it is only logical to understand people and jewellery as a unity, and to photograph them with ‘their’ piece of jewellery. Personalities who are connected to the museum in various ways are ‘adorned’ and brought into the frame by aspiring and established photographers. In the exhibition, the pieces of jewellery correspond with the photographic works, making possible a deeper and more mutual perception.

The Normans
rem-mannheim.de/en/exhibitions
The history of the Normans continues to astonish and surprise to the present day: starting out as highly mobile warriors, mercenaries or minor aristocracy, Normans became powerful princes and rulers who left their traces all over Europe and beyond. Their history is a story of interconnectedness, which influenced in a long-lasting way the cultural and political development of Europe and the Mediterranean.
For the first time in such a comprehensive fashion, the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen and their partners will dedicate an exciting exhibition project under German-French aegis to the “men from the North”. In a presentation with around 300 outstanding exhibition-pieces from more than 10 countries, the exhibition tells a multifaceted story and ties together different and highly fascinating threads of a history spanning the 8th - 13th centuries. Precious works of art, including handicrafts made of gold and ivory, jewellery and valuables such as the crown of Roger II, encounter other treasures, weapons and manuscripts coming from North-, East- and West-Europe as well as the Mediterranean. These exhibits are complemented by the latest digital reconstructions which provide innovative ways of displaying and transferring knowledge.

Elegantly meaningful – Signs and symbols in jewellery, graphic and printed works. Exhibition to mark the anniversary of Johannes Reuchlin’s death
schmuckmuseum.de/en/exhibitions/upcoming-exhibitions
When we think of language, jewellery is not the first thing that comes to mind. However, jewellery is a precious manifestation of many and varied systems of signs and symbols – as precious as the message itself. Jewellery serves as a means of communication, and hence is quite literally a "carrier of meaning". The Jewellery Museum has been inspired by this aspect to mark the 500th anniversary of Johannes Reuchlin’s death with an exhibition of calligraphy to highlight the humanist’s appreciation of languages and, concomitantly, of tolerance and peaceful understanding. In addition, video installations in several rooms will be showing texts from various eras of human history, and the theme of "language in jewellery" will be running like a leitmotif throughout the permanent exhibition. After all, jewellery has been playing an important role across different epochs and cultures as one of the many ways to express ourselves. Not least due to its high symbolic value, it is also a precious gift, for example for the birth of a child or on a wedding day. Quite often, jewellery accompanies its owner to their grave and thus even after death.

Embossing, pressing and guilloché engraving are techniques employed in manufactory-style jewellery production. Within the context of the »Pforzheim Revisited« semester project, initiated in 2010, they are experiencing a new lease of life: students of the Jewellery and Everyday Objects Design course at Pforzheim University use these techniques to create contemporary jewellery. The project has been made possible by a collaboration with the German Museum of Technology in Berlin and the Technical Museum of Pforzheim’s Jewellery and Watchmaking Industries, as well as thanks to the support from the C. Hafner company. The exhibition will be spotlighting the works created by the participants of the scholarship programme of the past twelve years.

Purposefully blurring the distinction between wearable pieces of jewellery and autonomous works of art, she emphasizes details that evoke different associations in different viewers. The exhibition will be showcasing the multifaceted, multiple prize-winning oeuvre created by Margit Jäschke over the course of the past 30 years, and will be accompanied by a catalogue published by Arnoldsche Art publishers.

The Phenomenon of Jewellery – the Ethnographic Collection at the Jewellery Museum
museumspass.com/en/exhibition/phenomenon
The Pforzheim-based couple Eva and Peter Herion, who acquired a wide variety of adornments on their travels between 1970 and 2006, were fascinated by jewellery in all its diversity. Their primarily ethnographic collection was originally given to the Jewellery Museum as a permanent loan, and has meanwhile passed into the museum’s ownership. When the remodelled museum opened in 2006, parts of the Herion collection were set up with a special focus on Africa and Asia. Conceived as a semi-permanent exhibition back then, it is now being redesigned on the basis of a fundamentally new approach, based on their cultural and historical context as much as the artistic aspirations involved. They also need to be regarded within the framework of global jewellery history. Objects from all of the museum’s collections, whether from the historical, the modern or the ethnographic collection, will therefore be exhibited in a manner that allows them to enter into dialogue with each other.

Form Follows Function 200 + 200 Decorative and Applied Arts 1621 – 2021
lalaounis-jewelrymuseum.gr
The Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire (1821-1829), was a cataclysmic event which, however, gave birth to a new nation-state: Modern Hellas, simply known as ‘Greece’ at the present time. It was an all-out war fought both on land and at sea, a valiant struggle in the name of freedom, justice and, as a corollary, modernity. As such, it harnessed the resources of a deep-rooted tradition of liberal thinking and cultural expression.
The exhibition does not merely divulge the story of the ‘Greek Revolution,’ but illuminates the material culture that comprised the communities which eventually rose against the mighty Ottomans. Undoubtedly, rural, and urban Greeks of the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries, employed the material culture of their despots. At the same time, they also turned their gaze westwards, as they were fascinated by the arts and styles that they discovered in ‘Europe’. Following the Renaissance, the Baroque and the Rococo movements, arts were influenced by their style, travelled to Greece to apply to the local needs and tastes. Thus, the exhibition reveals the story of the material culture spanning from 200 years prior to the Greek liberation until its modern-day aftermath.
Functions of attire and jewellery in men and women from the Greek mainland occupy an important component of Greek Traditional Crafts history. In a continuously changing society, dress becomes a principal symbol of local societies with innumerable combinations of local habits and ethnographic traditions. “Greek traditional jewellery” follows grooming or ceremonial use, through an incredible embracement of the human body’s most focal parts. Large pieces are kept today as precious artefacts commemorating traditional functions of the 18th and the 19th centuries and truly manifest an important chapter of Greece’s ethnographic history.
Bejewelled snuff boxes, seals, storage boxes narrate daily life activities, indicate social standing, and testify daily routines. Nowadays, these small objects are debased works of art and are often granted insufficient space in museum displays. Although our investigation has uncovered thousands of these precious decorative arts together with their making, mechanics, and many other secrets, a selection has been meticulously chosen to display accountable highly elite social activities such as smoking and writing.

Orizzonti d’Autore. Tra visioni e materia
Artists' Horizons: Between Visions and Matter
service.exibart.com/comunicati-stampa/orizzonti-dautore-visioni-materia
"Orizzonti d'Autore" is a biennial dedicated to artists' jewellery. Hosted in the halls of the Museo Civico di Asolo, it presents the works of 23 artists, invited by the curator Thereza Pedrosa, who have distinguished themselves for their artistic research and whose works are present in the collections of the most important museums in the world, including the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. With two main sections, the exhibition will guide you through a multi-faceted exploration of the most creative and ingenious ways of using all sorts of materials to create jewellery and innovative methods of working with traditional goldsmithing materials. From precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum to unusual metals such as stellite, titanium, brass, and bronze; from gemstones and reconstructed stones to ivory, bone, rock crystal, and glass. From industrial materials such as carbon fiber, silicone, nylon, methacrylate, PVC and acrylic color to more natural materials such as wood, Japanese paper, silk, porcelain and horsehair, up to the complete invention of new materials. From traditional and millenary goldsmith techniques and processes such as keum boo and niello, to the creation of natural patinas with balsamic vinegar, to 3D rapid prototyping, up to the use of purpose-built machinery and new patented mechanisms.
On display are the extraordinary works of Ralph Bakker (Netherlands), Lluís Comín (Spain), Giovanni Corvaja (Italy), Corrado De Meo (Italy), Clara Del Papa (Venezuela), Teresa F.

museimatera.it/da-matera-a-pompeiThis exhibition describes the role of women in the ancient world, through ornaments and jewels, an expression of the aesthetic taste of different eras and contexts, but also a symbol of social status. Fruit of the collaboration between the National Museum of Matera and the Archaeological Park of Pompeii and the Ministry of Culture, it compares and unites two archaeological contexts that are very different from each other and distant in space and time: on the one hand, ancient Basilicata, influenced by the customs and fashions of the Greek colonial world; on the other, Pompeii and the Vesuvian area, where Roman style and taste are well documented in the 1st century AD. Ornaments in glass paste, silver and gold, produced both in Magna Graecia and in the Eastern Mediterranean , were a real status symbol for women of high rank. The processing of particular materials, such as amber that was extracted in the Baltic Sea area and worked by Etruscan-Campania artisans, also indicates a thriving trade linked to this type of exclusive objects.

Under the spell of Mount Ararat. Treasures from ancient Armenia
drentsmuseum.nl/en/exhibitions/under-spell-mount-ararat
Visitors to this exhibition will go on a journey through the rich history of Armenia. From the Stone Age, in which homo erectus travelled from Africa to Eurasia to settle in what is now Armenia, via the first important leaders who had themselves buried in monumental mounds around 1500 BC, and the Kingdom of Urartu, to the great realm of King Tiridates III (AD 287-330), who made Christianity the state religion.
Gold and silver ornaments, weapons, pottery, and bronze figurines in the shape of animals and warriors – around 170 in total – will provide an impression of the impressive archaeological wealth of Armenia, from the earliest times until the arrival of Christianity. Many of these valuable objects will be on display in the Netherlands for the first time.
One of the exhibition’s highlights will be a relic of Noah’s Ark. Saint Jacob of Nisibis is said to have found this piece of wood from the Ark at the foot of Mount Ararat in the 4th century AD. The relic is kept in the oldest cathedral in the world: Etchmiadzin Cathedral in Armenia.

Magnificent and Meticulous - Highlights from the collection of cut stones
rmo.nl/en/exhibitions
This exhibition brings together the most beautiful and remarkable cut stones from the collection of the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities. You will see over a hundred examples of these colourful and often precious gems with engraved images. They come from the ancient Near East, Egypt and classical antiquity. Some are no larger than a fingertip. The stones display images of gods, animals, symbols, emperors and magic spells. The exhibition introduces you to the extraordinary craftsmanship of the artists who cut stones in antiquity and the centuries that followed. You will discover the symbolism behind varieties of stone and the enormously diverse engraved images. Enormous enlargements of some of these minute scenes are projected around the room. In addition, you will get to know the owners and admirers of the stones and the many ways they used them over the centuries. To complement the stones and their images, the exhibition also contains antique chests of drawers that were used by 19th-century collectors.

5,000 Years of Beads
rmo.nl/en/exhibitions
The national archaeological museum of the Netherlands will show a small but densely packed exhibition on excavated beads, that range from the first prehistoric beads through Roman jewellery until the large-scale production of beads in Venice and Amsterdam in the 17th century.
There is an abundance of strings of beads from the early-medieval period, the heyday of beads, but prayer beads from the Later Middle Ages feature heavily as well. Most objects come from the extensive stores of the Museum and have never been shown before. These are complemented by favourite strings of beads from private individuals, that include a 16th-century rosary made of skull beads, plus a spectacular medieval manuscript from the University Library of the Free University of Amsterdam (only on show for the first months) and equally spectacular modern bead art by world champion Floor Kaspers.

Cartier and Islamic Art: In Search of Modernity
dma.org/art/exhibitions/cartier
This major exhibition traces Islamic art’s influence on the objects created by Louis Cartier and the designers of the great French jewellery Maison from the early 20th century to today. The exhibition explores how Cartier’s designers adapted forms and techniques from Islamic art, architecture, and jewellery, as well as materials from India, Iran and the Arab lands, synthesising them into a modern stylistic language unique to the house of Cartier. Over 400 objects from major international collections, including the Department of Islamic Arts at the Louvre Museum and the Keir Collection of Islamic Art are on loan to the Dallas Museum of Art.

A New Woman: Clara Barck Welles, Inspiration & Influence in Arts & Crafts Silver
jsma.uoregon.edu/ClaraBarckWelles
Clara Barck Welles has long been recognised as the founder and owner of the Kalo Shop of Chicago, famous for its elegant Arts & Craft silver hollowware, flatware, and jewellery. Under her tutelage, the Kalo Shop trained and supported generations of designers, jewellers and silversmiths from its heyday from the early 1900s through the depression, until it finally closed in 1970. Originally formed in 1900 by Clara Barck (still unmarried at the time) and five other women graduates of the School of Art Institute of Chicago, the Kalo Shop was incorporated by Barck in 1905. Owned and directed by her, it was, as Darling noted in Chicago Metalsmiths, “the city’s most influential concern producing handwrought silver.” She served as its proprietor, manager, and guiding light until her retirement in 1939, when she moved to San Diego. In 1959, at the age of 91 years old, she gave the business to its remaining four employees.
Focusing on a select number of stellar works from the Kalo Shop and silversmiths in its orbit, and complementing the exhibition with scholarship on Clara Barck Welles’s larger career and social concerns, "A New Woman – Clara Barck Welles, Inspiration and Influence in Arts & Crafts Silver" will document an important chapter in the history of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. The well-illustrated exhibition catalogue will demonstrate the intrinsic quality of the works on view, and offer a fascinating window into the life of the uniquely gifted woman who was at their centre.

Navajo and Pueblo Jewelry: Silver, Turquoise, Coral, and Shell
maryhillmuseum.org/events
Turquoise has been known for centuries in Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and throughout the ancient world. In the Western Hemisphere, the Aztecs utilized quantities of it, and, in the American Southwest, Indigenous peoples have worked with turquoise for more than a millennium. During the last quarter of the 19th century, Diné (Navajo) and Pueblo artists began creating jewellery combining turquoise stones with silver settings — work that is now synonymous with Southwestern artistic expression. Maryhill’s 2022 exhibition of silver and turquoise jewellery features late 20th-century examples drawn from private collections.

Family Ties
nelson-atkins.org/exhibitions/family-ties
Portraits bind families together creating visual mementoes. Sometimes they also connect families through the artistic practice itself. This installation features both types of portrait miniatures!
In eighteenth-century Europe and America, it was a portrait painting age. Formerly associated with royalty and heads of state, by the mid-1700s, everyone wanted their portrait painted. Scores of artists were there to answer the call, painting mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, and cousins. These keepsakes that once adorned the family walls, or as in the case with portrait miniatures, were often worn as jewellery, or close to the body, served as visual reminders connecting family history. This installation features several portraits of siblings, such as Richard Grosvenor and his sister, Maria Deborah Grosvenor, painted in 1770 by Samuel Cotes (1733-1818), himself part of an artistic family. Over time, many family miniatures were dispersed among relatives or sold off thus breaking family ties. Although no longer owned by the sitters’ descendants, these portraits have miraculously remained together over 250 years later.
Family portraiture takes on a different meaning on the other side of the case, as the profession of artist often extended to multiple individuals within the same household. With no professional school to learn the art of miniature painting, the tradition and knowledge of this practice frequently passed from one generation to the next. One spectacular example of this includes America’s first well-known family of artists, the Peales. This installation features examples by Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827), as well as portraits by his brother James Peale, Sr. (1749-1831), and niece Anna Claypoole Peale (1791–1878), as well as a selection of their near 18th-century/early 19th-century English and European contemporaries.

Nubia: Jewels of Ancient Sudan

For nearly 3,000 years a series of kingdoms flourished in ancient Nubia (present-day southern Egypt and northern Sudan). The region was rich in sought-after resources such as gold and ivory and its trade networks reached Egypt, Greece, Rome, and central Africa. This exhibition presents highlights from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston's extensive collection of Nubian objects and features superbly crafted jewelry, metalwork, and sculpture exhibiting the wealth and splendor of Nubian society.

Southwest Silverwork, 1850-1940

Exploring rarely seen works from the Heard Museum’s collection, this exhibition documents nearly a century of the evolution of Native silverwork from its earliest years through the decades prior to World War II. A number of unique pieces of Navajo and Pueblo jewellery and other silver items from the museum are on view, tracing stylistic and technical developmental advances and the effect those changes had on silverwork produced in the Southwest.
To stay current with ongoing studies, the exhibit also re-examines and update some of the previously published writings on the subject with the expectation that the exhibit will help answer questions on how to accurately date Southwestern jewellery and other silver items as well as where pieces fit in a chronological history of the craft.

Iris Eichenberg: Where Words Fail
sfmcd.org/exhibitions/iris-eichenberg
Since the mid-1970s, artists worldwide have reacted against the age-old exclusivity and preciousness of jewellery, advocating for conceptual statements creatively fabricated primarily from a wide assortment of nonprecious materials. With a thirty-year and counting studio practice centred first in Europe and now in America, German artist Iris Eichenberg is one of the most influential contributors to this discourse. Because of her tireless interrogation into materiality, Eichenberg exemplifies what noted critic and curator Glenn Adamson calls the “post-disciplinary” artist. Instead of focusing on one medium and process, Eichenberg continually seeks to find the craft processes and combination of materials that best suit the idea at hand. An educator and prolific artist who lectures and conducts workshops worldwide, she imparts this methodology — a direct outcome of the open, creatively tolerant environment she enjoyed while working in Amsterdam — to the numerous international jewellery artists who come to study with her.
