  Sept. 27, 2008 – May 31, 2009

  The Museum of Arts & Design in New York inaugurates the Tiffany & Co. Foundation Jewelry Gallery in its new home at 2 Columbus Circle with Elegant Armor: The Art of Jewelry. The exhibition offer visitors the unique opportunity to see an exceptional assembly of works from the Museum’s collection. The remarkably inventive artists extend the range of materials beyond precious gems and metals to demonstrate that they can make superb jewelry from paper, rubber, plastic, found objects of all descriptions and even pig’s intestines. Featuring over 200 objects from the pioneering works of the 1940s to the cutting edge pieces made this year, the exhibition provides a dazzling overview of the evolution of contemporary art jewelry.
