Textile and Costume Society
Jewelry of the "Schmuckmuseum"
6 — 8 pm
Trustee Room
Ursula Ilse-Neuman, Curator of American Craft at the Museum of Art & Design (MAD) in New York City, will introduce us to the Jewelry Museum (Schmuckmuseum) in Pforzheim Germany, the world’s only museum dedicated exclusively to jewelry and one that remains little-known in the United States. The discussion will include the museum’s origin and vital role in one of the world’s major jewelry manufacturing centers and look at important objects from the museum’s collection spanning Greek, Etruscan and Roman jewelry through striking works from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, Art Nouveau and Art Deco to the present day. While the Pforzheim documents the evolution of jewelry throughout the ages, emphasis will be placed on the impressive collection of modern art jewelry, mostly from Western Europe, from the past sixty years.
