BARBARA CARTLIDGE AND ELECTRUM GALLERY A Passion for Jewellery
, Arnoldsche, 2016 Hardcover, 296 pag. 30 x 29.5 cm, 219 ills. in colour and 4 in b/w. *New . ISBN 9783897904705.
This publication documents for the first time the extraordinary life of Barbara Cartlidge (b. 1922 in Berlin) who had fled Germany in 1938. Her creative talents, entrepreneurial spirit and political activism are illustrated through her early years in London from the 1940s to 1970s. Little known is her success as a jeweller which resulted in press attention from fashion magazines such as Vogue and Harper?s Bazaar and, in 1960, a solo exhibition at Heal?s, leading in modern design. Late 1960?s and Barbara?s involvement with Pace Gallery brought about a meeting with Ralph Turner and their collaboration to create Electrum Gallery in 1971: the first gallery for exhibiting exclusively contemporary artist jewellery. The story of the next 36 years of Barbara?s involvement in Electrum Gallery, until her retirement in 2007, is told through the words and images of 70 internationally renowned artist jewellers who describe this strong, determined woman and the significance of the gallery for the wider world of contemporary jewellery. Electrum Gallery represented many hundreds of jewellers from around the world and made London an international platform for contemporary artist jewellery.
RINGS OF THE 20TH AND 21ST CENTURIES The Alice and Louis Koch Collection
, Arnoldsche, 2019 Hardcover with dusjacket 304 pages, 24 30 cm, approx. 600 colour ills. Text; English / German. ISBN 9783897905160.
The Alice and Louis Koch Collection of finger rings was originally collated by a jeweller from Frankfurt am Main, once described as the German ?Cartier and Faberg ?. By 1909 the collection comprised 1,722 rings from Antiquity to 1900. Ren Lalique, a contemporary of the time, was included, undoubtedly as a moderniser of the ring form. In the past twenty-five years the fourth generation of the family continued where Louis Koch and his wife Alice left off and expanded the collection to include rings from the twentieth and twenty-first century. This publication will present the complete collection of contemporary rings, today kept in the Swiss National Museum, Zurich. Nearly 600 rings by artist jewellers from around the world document how these miniature works of art have become modern sculptures showcasing new materials and techniques, daring designs and current themes.
