The publisher will be happy to send interested parties a free sample copy of this magazine without obligation – in the hope, of course, of finding new subscribers who enjoy an unusual and always enriching publication. All you have to do is send your postal address and the keyword “sample copy Art Aurea 44” to info@artaurea.de. The magazine is published quarterly and has been promoting contemporary arts and crafts for many years.
PROUDLY AFRICAN
Jewellery Affairs
Many were interested in the exhibition, which was created in cooperation with the Bengel Foundation in Idar-Oberstein and the German Goldsmith’s House and was shown at both locations. The exhibition curated by me included modern and ethnic jewelry from 10 African countries in the context of contemporary jewelry from Europe. A nice catalog has been published, as well as a detailed article in ART AUREA, https: // artaurea. de / 2021 / life-is-art /
