A Misunderstanding or Backwardness: Why Some Galleries at SCHMUCK 2014 Lagged Behind Others

I would like to share my experience on the year’s event in the field of contemporary and conceptual jewelry – SCHMUCK-2014 in Munich. The fact that completely shocked me is the prohibition to take photos in the galleries. We, as gallery representatives, went there to get to know new designers and artists and their works, to purchase their works for our collection, to meet our friends and gain new contacts, which come in handy during discussions as well as when organizing new exhibitions.
