Falkenstein (1908-1997) is internationally recognized for her large-scale, forged metal sculpture, as well as her vast body of work comprised of paintings, ceramics, prints, stained glass windows, and jewelry between 1930 and her death 1997. Her stunning forged and cast metal jewelry, the subject of this exhibition, was among the finest work produced throughout a life dedicated to exploration and experimentation.This jewelry is not costuming or fashion so much as formal ideas involving line, space, surfaces, materials, and color. Her oeuvre proves to be a unique and a truly significant contribution to the world of jewelry.
