ALEXANDER CALDER JEWELRY It is an important representative of contemporary art with its monumental forms evoking engineering, the pioneer of kinetic art, Alexander Calder. Its features meet art lovers in the biggest galleries of the world today. We know him with his aerodynamic lines and unique sculptures. But did you know the jewelry designs? With this lesser known feature, everyone accepted him as a jewelry designer in the notion of contemporary jewelry. The jewelery industry was thrilled when his necklaces, brooches, earrings and headgear were exhibited at his first personal show in England, The Boldness of Calder.
He has a striking and awaiting effect in his jeweler side. He did not have the necessary workbench and equipment like a jeweler. He said “ I did it with my own hands, and I never had wire and a plier in my pocket.” This unique technique has been described in the literature as Calderian. Can you imagine? You shape your work as you turn a long and hard metal into a spiral with your hands and then draw a repetitive line! Those who know the stage of making jewelry can estimate how difficult this technique is. Creating a spiral form from a single piece, giving sculptural forms, mediocre glass and worthless items. Calder preferred to work with silver and brass. Platinum escaped from precious metals such as gold. He searched for value in design and story, not in carat. He was never concerned with the material value of his designs. What matters to him is aesthetics. Could this approach be the cornerstone of Ethical Jewelery? He chosed to keep the “value” structure of jewel art by avoiding its ruthless competition. He did not want to compete with a jeweler who made something of valuable and luxurious materials. Because he thought that what was done in the art of jewelry was very different. #contemporaryart #contemporaryjewellery #laurensantodomingo #brookeshields #lauradern #artist #scuplture #art #artjewellery #jewelry #sothebysjewels #sothebys #christies #phillips #contemporary #passion #value #modernart #alexandercalderjewelry #alexandercalder #angelicahuston
