The Art of Jewelry in America
As art jewelry comes into its own in America, galleries are joining the trend and to find success with art jewelry mix /.
Throughout the world, body ornamentation is an ancient art form and secular. However, the United States, jewelry as art has only recently come into its own.
Such art is not the number of gold bracelets Tennis aligned in a showcase at the mall. It is not the design of a single artist whose staff he put in mass production. They are handmade, one-of-a-kind works conceived and executed by the artist with all the technical and aesthetic elements that carry it to across the line in the field of fine arts.
"The distinction between mass-produced jewelry and art jewelry is not only the quantity But the design, said jewelry artist Gretchen Kubacky Los Angeles. "I saw surprisingly high quality designs in a department store that would not be seen as art, and I saw diamond earrings $ 5,000 who are not design quality to them. Art is in the eye of the beholder. "All kinds of jewelry such as costume jewelry wholesale, fashion jewelry wholesale, wholesale jewelry, offering jewelry, pearl jewelry, body jewelry
Kubacky identifies his own work as "contemporary racialized" jewelry drawn from historical images, as well as crafts and folk art. She uses sterling silver, high quality stones and pearls, but she likes to mix, placing the stones by hand in India with cultured pearls – the fine and the not-so-fine – to create a more handmade.
"Jewelry-as-art depends on function and privacy, "wrote Carolyn Morris Bach, who exhibits her bone-precious metal jewelry at high-end exhibitions and some art galleries across the country. "Each piece that leaves the studio is entirely hand made by me. Although I strive for perfection in my design and craftsmanship, I'm not too worried that any form requires perfectly rounded or each element is an exact replica of its counterpart. If it's art, it should be individual and unique and preserve for the viewer traces of deliberate decisions for manufacturing, the transition from hands through the material. "
Therein lies the area of the distinction between commercial and jewelry and fine arts. Part of departure is the subject or the intention behind the piece, if it was made to be sold in quantity at a profit and finally, art worn, or if it was created for the love of art – which was handmade, using unconventional materials or traditional materials unconventional ways. The closer the artist remains the creative process, the more jewels are fine arts.
"The difference is the same for jewelry and for other decorative arts, such as glass and ceramics, "said jewelry artist and photographer Douglas Steakley, who jewelry shows and other crafts to its concepts Gallery in Caramel, Calif. "You can tell when they are transformed into fine art because they cease to be functional, or they become sculptural objects themselves, "Steakley said." Yet it remains a large gray area of pieces that are semi-functional or artistic, but identifiable, wearable jewelry. "
Steakley and his wife Jacqueline founded Concepts 15 years ago as a gallery featuring the works of artists such as Carolyn Morris Bach jewelry, Sydney Lynch and more. Their criteria were that each piece should be single, well-developed and identifiable – the artist had to create a signature.
"Concepts has not changed much," he said, "Unless to introduce glass and photography following the same artistic criteria. It's a good mix. Glass, in particular, offers a pleasant contrast jewelry. It's larger, visually interesting and colorful. It is also more accessible than jewelry. "
Jewelry continues to make inroads into art venues such as galleries, upscale shows and exhibitions, and is creating quite a presence on the market.
Patina Gallery Santa Fe, NM, half of its space dedicated for the expansion of art jewelry and the balance to other crafts. Owned by Allison Barnett and directed by her husband, jewelry artist Ivan Barnett, the gallery almost two years, is known to represent some of the most Fine art jewelry in the world.
"We take a huge commitment to the European jewelry artists," said Ivan. " A lot of what I would call the cutting edge of art jewelry out of Europe. They are different, cleaner aesthetic. American artists Jewelry is more decadent – not a bad way – but there is quality on the sleek European design. The Americans are still tied a little more for the precious materials, largely because America is so market driven. Not to distort the quality and aesthetics many fine American artists, but Europeans are more closely aligned with our philosophy, creating surprises for people who have sensitivities and you want something way off the track. "
For the past 23 years, the William Zimmer Gallery in Mendocino, California, presented an eclectic, expansive and imaginative collection of contemporary art "in both traditional media and crafts. With sculpture painting and furniture, it specializes in jewelry art with the work of Morris Bach, Lynch, Abrasha and others.
