| Summary |
Revised and updated to incorporate the work of the late 1980s and early 1990s, this book presents the latest examples of contemporary inventiveness. Mainstream abstract jewellery encompasses the diversity of modern ornament; while contemporary figurative jewellery is made by artists who sculpt and model in precious metals or everyday materials; and "jewellery as theatre" features radical workers and their controversial "wearables". Recent trends are given a special section of their own. Includes one work by Marjorie Schick. |
