Held in a setting uniquely sympathetic to Falkenstein’s art, with her luminous fountain Structure and Flow and the dynamic sculpture Point as a Set #16 in the Museum’s sculpture garden, this exhibition presents jewelry executed from 1945 to 1980.
Falkenstein blended numerous influences and sources to create jewelry that was uniquely her own, calling to mind the beaten gold of the Assyrian civilization, the luminous glass jewelry of the Romans, the delicate organic curves of Art Nouveau, and the linear structure of Alexander Calder’s mobiles.
In the early fifties, Falkenstein created her jewelry in a tiny Paris apartment, blending all her techniques of metal casting to create a series of unique pieces which laid the foundation for her prolific output, including hatpins, buttons, earrings, cufflinks, body jewelry, rings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, belt buckles and brooches.
