With this publication the Museum of Applied Arts, Cologne, presents around 85 jewelry works by some 45 internationally renowned female visual artists from the 1920s to the present day. Text in English and German.

From Louise Bourgeois to Yoko Ono presents around 85 jewelry works by some 45 internationally renowned female visual artists from the 1920s to the present day. Their jewelry pieces open up new, often surprising perspectives on their artistic production. Some pieces captivate with minimalist elegance, others with their expressive, sculptural presence or playful humor, with each unique work consolidating an artistic vision into a small personal statement. With its exhibition of the same name, the Museum für Angewandte Kunst Köln (MAKK; Museum of Applied Arts, Cologne) deliberately focuses on female standpoints, thus breaking with the male-dominated perception of avant-garde art jewelry.

Text in English and German.
