Schmuckismus – Opening

Opening of the the annual jewelry exhibition, curated by Karen Pontoppidan. The exhibition showcases works by 30 contemporary international jewelry artists under the Pinakothek’s glass dome.

In 2019, Die Neue Sammlung is inviting Karen Pontoppidan, Danish jewelry artist and Professor of the Jewelry and Hollowware Class at Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich, to curate the annual jewelry exhibition at Pinakothek der Moderne.

The exhibition showcases works by 30 international jewelry artists.

All the objects on show share and stand out for their engagement with and exploration of social phenomena. Pontoppidan’s concept was born out of the deep conviction that the rigid political and religious “-isms” of our day require careful review.
