The first well-rounded and illustrated presentation of Tone Vigeland's art jewellery and sculpture for over fifteen years, which spans the 50 years of her creative work. Accompanies a retrospective at Die Neue Sammlung - The Design Museum, Munich in Spring 2017.
Exhibition: Die Neue Sammlung - The Design Museum, Munich (DE), 11.3.-11.6.2017
Scandinavian studio jewellery is simply unimaginable without Tone Vigeland (b.1938) and her work. Her distinctive objects flatter the human body and captivate through their dimensions and volume, yet they are assembled from the tiniest hand-crafted components.
Tubes of silver wire, precisely cut plates, spheres and eyelets, all in small scale, are invisibly interconnected. Vigeland's use of heavily oxidised, almost iron-black silver and steel is a typical feature. The result: art on the human body - highly aesthetic, perfectly executed and always wearable.
Around 150 jewellery objects from 1958 to 2010 document Tone Vigeland's pioneering creativity. They are complemented with a selection of objects and sculptures from 1998 to the present day, which can now be seen in an exhibition and publication for the very first time.
