From Picasso to Koons, the Artist As Jeweler

A sparkling collection of dazzling designs, from the collection of Diane Venet, which she regularly exhibits - as in the New York show in the early autumn of 2011 - is set out like a veritable intimate museum, narrating a specific history of art. Poring through the beautiful images in this exquisite gallery of jewels is like stepping inside a jewelry store filled with remarkable pieces from the finest modern and contemporary artists.

The book accompanies the exhibition at the MAD Museum in New York (Museum of Arts and Design) from September 20, 2011 to January 8, 2012, and then in several cities around the United States.
