The American sculptor Louise Nevelson (1899–1988) is renowned for her bold, monumental abstract assemblages. Didier Ltd's Curio presentation of jewelry includes her personal pieces from the 1960s; pendants designed for the Opera Theatre of St. Louis’s 1984 production of Cristoph Willibald Gluck’s Orfeo and Euridice formed from crushed tin cans, fishing floats, and beads; and pendants and brooches made shortly before she died, which have never before been exhibited
Didier Ltd presents 'Paint It Black' by Louise Nevelson next week at Design Miami/ Basel. Pictured: Extremely large 1960’s gold and wood pendant made for Nevelson’s Whitney Museum retrospective to wear at the opening but not used in the end as photos show her wearing a brooch instead
Didier Ltd presents Paint It Black, a Curio exhibition of jewelry designed by the iconic American sculptor Louise Nevelson at / Basel in June.
These works are mostly painted in monochrome matte black, a color, for Nevelson, that “contained all color. It wasn’t a negation of color. It was an acceptance. Because black encompasses all colors.”
These unique jewels are sculptures in miniature, typically made from small scraps of wood or found objects like clothespins and piano keys, painted black and given gold or metal highlights.
The jewels fall into three main groups: her personal pieces from the 1960s, which appear in many photographs of her; pendants formed from crushed tin cans, fishing floats, and beads she designed for the Opera Theatre of St. Louis’s production of Cristoph Willibald Gluck’s Orfeo and Euridice in 1984; and lastly a group of pendants and brooches made shortly before she died, which have never been exhibited.
Masque (Grand), 1972, by Pablo Picasso, cast by Francois Hugo.
Exhibited at Masterpiece by Didier Ltd, this pendant is taken from a sketch/doodle that Picasso made of the artist Rembrandt in February 1971, cast by his goldsmith Francois Hugo. It was made in an numbered edition of 20 together with two artist and two author proofs (model no. 1750).
This necklace was the fourth and final jewel designed by Chilean Surrealist Roberto Sebastian Matta for Giancarlo Montebello and was produced in an unfinished edition from 1974. The Cacastrello necklace is composed of 18ct gold and rock crystal with three bat pendants set with diamond and ruby eyes. The name of this necklace “Cacastrello” is a playful combination of the Italian word for a bat (p**istrello) and the French slang to urinate (p**i) and defecate (c**a) — typical of Matta’s humor. Didier Ltd will also be exhibiting further rare examples of Matta’s first two designs at /
