Observations from the last century, e.g. by curator and writer Ralph Turner or jewelry maker Gary Griffin, suggest that the styles on both sides of the Atlantic differed a lot. The American style was perceived as opulent and ornamented while the European seemed to be more reductivist.

Our exhibition aims to shed a light on two questions: Have these differences been blurred in our era of globalization or do they still exist? To what extent does one only perceive a difference because knowledge of an artist’s name and location results in cultural stereotyping?

Opening hours:
Monday to Saturday, 10 am - 6 pm.
