If you’re an Art Nouveau jewelry lover visiting New York, the Macklowe Gallery is presenting an exceptional exhibition devoted to René Lalique, featuring an extraordinary collection that reveals the extent of this talented jeweler’s artistic genius during the Art Nouveau period, until September 26.
"To seek beauty is a more worthy aim than to display luxury."
The Macklowe Gallery has recently acquired an exceptional collection of Art Nouveau jewelry by René Lalique. This unique collection is currently on display until the end of September at the gallery at 445 Park Avenue. The diversity of the pieces on display is remarkable, providing an insight into the breadth of René Lalique’s style, with jewels inspired by nature, wildlife and women, as well as more intimate pieces with allusions to his native region, where he explored as a child, taking an interest in everything around him.
We were delighted to feature an interview with Benjamin Macklowe, the gallery’s current director, who gave us an exclusive look at a large part of this exceptional collection. You can watch the video here :
