Constellations: Contemporary Jewelry at the Dallas Museum of Art

di Sarah Schleuning (Autore)

Yale University Press, 2025

A lavish exploration of how contemporary jewelry pushes the boundary between ornament and art   This thematic exploration of more than 950 works from the contemporary jewelry collection at the Dallas Museum of Art spans nearly a century up until the present and includes work by some of the field’s most innovative and genre-defying makers. These masterpieces—from artists in Italy to Japan, New Zealand to the United States—assert the centrality of ideas beyond aspects of materiality and function.   Through stunning photography and essays focusing zones of the body, geometries as archetypes of form, identity as projection or protection, notions of movement and play, and the history of the museum’s seminal collection, the author illuminates new ways of understanding and appreciating contemporary jewelry. Constellations is a valuable resource for jewelry scholars and enthusiasts alike.   Distributed for the Dallas Museum of Art   Exhibition Schedule:   Dallas Museum of Art (November 9, 2025–May 3, 2026)
