In the 80’s this Dutch artist became famous with jewellery made out of junk like necklaces made from square pieces which were cut out of plastic bags (bought by Rijksmuseum). I prefer this lucite work. Beppe told me she just sandpapered thick plates of perspex to get these magnifying ‘crystals’ (instead of making molds). L: Plenty of Nothing (elm seeds) M: World Traveler (airplanes and vapour trails) R: Glaciers are Not Forever, Monte Rosa Art Beppe Kessler

Extraterrestrial sculptures made from LCD panels. The artist believes you first have to destroy a material to really understand it. She uses the most delicate slim pieces to make these wonders. Material liquid crystal shatters Art Josepha Gasch-Muche

Not overwhelmed by the perverse extravagant Schmuck of the Russian court and high society from 1730-1930. Around 1900 a single high-quality natural pearl fetched as much as a canvas by Rembrandt! Still there were some nice ideas, like the word ‘AMOR’, formed of an Amethyst, Malachite, Opal and Ruby. All is rather old-fashioned exposed, and no relation is shown with Russian life outside of the courts. The expo was packed with grey nomads photographing every item, some of them sitting on their rollator. Exhibition Juwelen! Hermitage, until March 15, 2020
