From Louise Bourgeois to Yoko Ono

The exhibition presents jewellery works by around 40 internationally renowned female visual artists from the 1920s to the present day. Their jewellery pieces open up new, often surprising perspectives on their artistic production. Some exhibits captivate with minimalist elegance, others with their expressive, sculptural presence or playful humour, with each unique work consolidating an artistic vision into a small personal statement. Louise Bourgeois, Aube Elléouet, Jenny Holzer, Leiko Ikemura, Yayoi Kusama, Alicia Kwade, Yoko Ono, Meret Oppenheim, Niki de Saint Phalle, Dorothea Tanning, Rosemarie Trockel, Joana Vasconcelos, Zhou Yiyan and many others are represented. With this exhibition, the MAKK deliberately focuses on female standpoints, thus breaking with the male-dominated perception of avant-garde art jewellery.
