The third and final installment in ‘Revealed’, the Anne & Gordon Samstag Museum of Art’s series of exhibitions that take the pulse of contemporary private collecting, focuses on contemporary jewellery.
With contemporary jewellery, a private acquisition becomes a public display. We are rarely privileged, however, to view a collection in its entirety – a treasure trove of pieces chosen over time and with great personal attention, reflecting interests, experiences and relationships. Through four very different South Australian collections, ‘Revealed3: someone’s and everyone’s’ is a glimpse into the often-overlooked act of personal curating.
