From Louise Bourgeois to Yoko Ono

Exhibition at the MAKK - Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Cologne, 21 November 2025 - 26 April 2026

This exhibition catalogue presents some 85 jewellery pieces created by 45 internationally renowned visual artists. Their jewellery offers new and often surprising perspectives on their artistic output. Some pieces captivate with their minimalist elegance, others with their expressive and sculptural presence or their playful humour, each unique work consolidating an artistic vision into a small personal statement.

From surrealist icons Meret Oppenheim and Aube Elléouet to critically acclaimed conceptual artist Alicja Kwade, this book offers an overview of artistic movements from the 1920s to the present day.
