Join jewelry historian Toni Greenbaum and MAD Senior Curator Barbara Paris Gifford for a discussion of the recently published jewelry tome, Feast: Contemporary Jewelry from the Susan Beech Collection. Since 1991, Beech has been transforming her house in Tiburon, California, into an extraordinary environment, in which the themes of her extensive jewelry collection interact with craft and fine art, all against a backdrop of Art Deco glamour.
Book contributors Greenbaum and Gifford will discuss topics ranging from the latest insights into American narrative jewelry to the history of contemporary art jewelry and its relationship with beauty. Additionally, in honor of Beech’s major donation this year of over one hundred and fifty pieces to MAD’s modern and contemporary jewelry collection, a selection of the Beech collection’s exceptional works from prominent artists will be on view.
Copies of Feast: Contemporary Jewelry from the Susan Beech Collection will be available for purchase and signing.
