Von Louise Bourgeois bis Yoko Ono. Schmuck von Künstlerinnen

In the organizer's words:

For the first time in Germany, the exhibition presents a special exhibition specifically on jewelry designs by female visual artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. On display are 113 works by 45 internationally renowned female artists.

The works provide an insight into art trends from the 1920s to the present day. The focus is deliberately on female positions and breaks with the male-dominated perception of avant-garde artistic jewelry of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Represented in the exhibition are: Lynda Benglis, Pierrette Bloch, Barbara Bloom, Katinka Bock, Louise Bourgeois, Helen Britton, Barbara Chase-Riboud, Claudia Comte, Sheila Concari, Sonia Delaunay-Terk, Nathalia Edenmont, Aube Elléouët, Claire Falkenstein, Ruth Francken, Marcia Grostein, Jenny Holzer, Rebecca Horn, Annabelle d'Huart, Leiko Ikemura, Margit Jäschke, Jacqueline de Jong, Alicja Kwade, Claude Lalanne, Liliane Lijn, Rita McBride, Blanca Muños, Brigitte Nahon, E. R. Nele, Louise Nevelson, Michele Oka Doner, Yoko Ono, Meret Oppenheim, Françoise Pétrovitch, Armelle de Sainte Marie, Niki de Saint Phalle, Elodie Seguin, Maïlys Seydoux-Dumas, Kiki Smith, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Dorothea Tanning, Rosemarie Trockel, Paloma Varga Weisz, Sophia Vari, Joana Vasconcelos and Zhou Yiyan.

Jewelry as a medium of artistic expression translates conceptual approaches as well as personal experiences and emotional processes into a wearable form. Beyond material values, themes such as identity, physicality, memory and social role models are negotiated - sometimes playfully, sometimes poetically or even provocatively. Jewelry thus appears not as an ornament or status symbol, but as a personal, intimate form of expression.
