 Adriaenssens, Werner, Bruno Fornari & Raf Steel:, De Wolfers Dynastie 1850 -1958. Van Art Nouveau tot Art Deco
Adriaenssens, Werner, Bruno Fornari & Raf Steel:
De Wolfers Dynastie 1850 -1958. Van Art Nouveau tot Art Deco
Gent 2006, (29,7 x 24,5 cm), 492 pp. Dutch text,, 470 ills., (70 colour), clothbound. Aan het einde van de negentiende eeuw tot het midden van de twintigste eeuw was Wolfers een begrip. De naam stond synoniem voor luxe, kwaliteit en hoogstaande artisticiteit van Belgische origine. De firma Wolfers, producent van zilverwerk en juwelen, werd in 1850 in Brussel opgericht door Louis Wolfers. Vooral onder het beleid van zijn zonen Philippe, Max en Robert kon de zaak zich internationaal profileren en verwierf zij belangrijke afzetmarkten in West- en Midden-Europa. De objecten in art-nouveau stijl ontworpen door Philippe Wolfers werden met veel lofbetuigingen ontvangen. Zijn unieke art-nouveau juwelen werden getoond in heel Europa en de naam van Philippe Wolfers evenaarde die van René Lalique. Na het overlijden van Philippe in 1929 volgde zijn zoon Marcel hem op als artistiek directeur en profileerde deze zich als een begenadigde beeldhouwer en begaafde lakkunstenaar. Dit rijk geïllustreerde boek is het resultaat van jarenlang onderzoek. Naast wetenschappelijke bijdragen omvat het ook de beredeneerde catalogus van de oeuvres van Philippe en Marcel Wolfers, en een lijst van merken en signaturen.

09 2023, (26,8 x 33,8 cm), 272 pp. English text, numerous colour ills., hardcover A privileged look at visionary jewelry designer Francesca Amfitheatrof s unique approach to creating collections of high jewelry for Louis Vuitton. Working in the heart of Paris, Francesca Amfitheatrof brings a new perspective to the ancient art of jewelry design, translating her love of fashion into the jewelry collections she creates for Louis Vuitton. She approaches each collection following a theme, as a storyteller would approach a novel, but written in the oldest materials on our planet diamonds and gold. This book is a fascinating look at four extraordinary jewelry collections, exploring the designer s alchemical process from raw materials and inspiration to polished jewel. Journal-like in style, and featuring unique sketches, gouaches, collages, and personal photographs the book highlights how Amfitheatrof and Louis Vuitton have given the ancient craft of jewelry-making a modern approach. The book also reveals how Amfitheatrof s personal journey, and her creativity, are perfectly matched with the pioneering and visionary spirit of Louis Vuitton, a house with its roots in luggage and travel. Amfitheatrof, working together with renowned art director Fabien Baron, has created a stunning and highly personal volume that beautifully reflects her singular artistry.

Amneus, Cynthia & Ruth Peltason & Rosemary Ransome Wallis & Amanda Trossi:
Simply Brilliant. Artist-Jewellers of the 1960's and 1970s.
10 2020, (24 x 26,5 cm), 256 pp. English text, 207 colour ills., hardcover. Boek bij de tentoonstelling in DIVA Antwerpen / Accompanies the exhibition in DIVA Anytwerp. ¥¥¥¥¥¥ Presents 110 pieces by 50 leading makers of jewellery from the 1960s and 1970s Simply Brilliant is full of stunning, one of a kind pieces, which reflect the inventive, forward-thinking attitudes of the era. Most, if not all, of the individual makers during these decades considered themselves to be artists first, jewellers second. The volume explores the ground-breaking 1961 Goldsmiths Hall Exhibition in London, which brought a new direction in jewellery design to the fore, inspiring contemporary jewellery designers - John Donald, Arthur King, Andrew Grima and Gilbert Albert, among others - who in turn influenced major jewellery houses such as Cartier, Bulgari, Chopard and Van Cleef and Arpels, and paved the way for an international movement in fashion and design. The 1960s and 1970s were characterized by rebellion and intense cultural change in which ornaments took many forms. From space-age plastic earrings to the hippie's beaded necklace inspired by non-western cultures, new approaches to bodily adornment - including jewellery - expressed individuality, nonconformity, and the wearer's aesthetic, political and intellectual values. All of the pieces in this new volume, drawn from the Klosterman Collection in Cincinnati, are wonderful examples of this modern spirit.
