On the occasion of this exhibition, eighteen artists have been invited to represent the Padua School, chosen among the major artistic personalities in the field of contemporary jewellery. Most of them trained at the Istituto Statale d’Arte “P. Selvatico”. Although differing greatly in style and in the presentation of their personal research, they have become internationally recognised and – thanks to their creative genius and advanced experimental techniques – have received important awards world-wide.
About one hundred show-cases will display more than 500 works, many of them never seen before, sculptured jewels created from the 1950s until today.
“Master Jewellers: the Gold-Working School of Padua” will open on april 4 2008 in the most prestigious exhibition venue of the city, the Medieval Palazzo della Ragione and has been prepared by Mirella Cisotto Nalon and Annamaria Spiazzi. The exhibition is itinerant and, after Padua, will travel to many other museums in Italy and abroad.
