Giampaolo Babetto receives the Archeometra Lifetime Achievement Award
The institution of a Lifetime Achievement Award for art jewelry is born from the desire to celebrate an artist who has devoted his creative strength and artistic research to the field of art jewelry, contributing significantly to the development and enrichment of the sector during a lifetime dedicated to art. Thanks to the precious support of Archeometra and the hospitality of the Municipality of Asolo, Orizzonti d'Autore is honored to establish the Archeometra Lifetime Achievement Award for Art Jewelry. In this first edition the award will be assigned to Giampaolo Babetto, to celebrate his career of over 5 decades, his irreplaceable contribution to the education of new generations of jewelry artists and his worldwide fame as one of the greatest masters of art jewelry. The Archeometra Lifetime Achievement Award will be given to the artist Giampaolo Babetto during the opening ceremony of Orizzonti d’Autore on May 7, 2022, at 15.00, in the City Hall of Asolo.
An extraordinary anthological exhibition will retrace the 55-year career of Giampaolo Babetto, hosted in the Civic Museum of Asolo, with over 60 works including jewelry, silverware, objects and furniture. On display from May 7 to July 24, 2022.
