November will give us an opportunity to catch our breath after all the show openings in October and prepare us for the mad rush of the auction season in December.
See
“International Art Jewelry, 1895-1925”, The Forbes Galleries, 62 Fifth Avenue, October 29, 2011 - March 17, 2012. The goal of this exhibition is to show both the enormous range of pieces made during this period as well as the relationship between the various art jewelry/design reform movements in many countries in the early 20th century. I had a glimpse at some of the objects that will be on display and all I can say is that it will be breathtaking. Curated by Elyse Zorn Karlin, who also curated the "Jewelers of the Hudson Valley" show at Forbes Galleries last spring.
