All That Glitters. Spectacular Costume Jewellery from the Josef Wiggers Collection

In 2016, CODA acquired a large part of the costume jewellery collection compiled by Jozef Joop Wiggers (1934-2017). Wiggers was not only a graphic designer, painter and publisher of the popular Dutch comic strip Jan, Jans en de kinderen, but also a passionate collector and keen appreciator of beautiful things. During one of his many visits to book fairs, he discovered artists’ books about costume jewellery. This marked the start of his collection and his passion for costume jewellery.
