The first “Preziosa” exhibition took place in Lucca on June 16 - 30 2005. The exhibition was an extremely important event for Italy. Compared to the rest of Europe, Italy has yet to become fully engaged in promoting this art form. This prestigious exhibition featured a high level selection of works by artists who have been involved for a number of years in rigorous and innovative research in the field of jewellery design.
The first edition of Preziosa presented the works of 11 internationally acclaimed European artists representing three generations so as to be able to demonstrate the possible metamorphoses in material that makes up an ornament designed and created to be the messenger for a new form of aesthetics, for feelings and reflections on our society.
Artists:
Peter Chang, Giovanni Corvaja, Nel Linssen, Kadri Mälk, Xavier Monclús, Erico Nagai, Francesco Pavan, Jacqueline Ryan, Peter Skubic, Janna Syvänoja, Annamaria Zanella.
