About the Item

18kt rose gold ring, made with lost wax technique. This is a wearable sculpture created by world renowned German artist Rebecca Horn. The jewel is a limited edition of 12, signed and numbered. It is hand-made using the lost wax technique. The spiral shape, is one of Horn’s most favoured symbols and appears throughout her work. This jewellery project came to life through collaboration between Rebecca Horn and Luisa del Valle, a noted goldsmith living in Spain. After months of research, del Valle sourced rare stones, shells and ammonites to develop the concept of movement and energy central to Horn’s work. Rebecca Horn (German, b. 1944) is a visual artist, who came to international prominence in the 1980s and is best known for her installation art, film directing, and body modifications projects. Horn is considered to be one of the most influential artists of the Kinetic Art movement. From an early age Horn developed a virtual obsession with drawing, using it as a medium of communication that she viewed as much less limiting than the spoken word. Horn’s work can be found today in many museum collections around the globe, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Tate Gallery in London. She has also received prestigious awards throughout her career, which include the Carnegie Prize in 1988, the Kaiserring Goslar in 1992, in 2010 Praemium Imperiale in Sculpture, the Grande Medaille des Arts Plastiques in 2011, and in 2012 the Austrian Decoration for Science and Art. Elisabetta Cipriani – Jewellery by Contemporary Artists invites renowned international sculptors and painters to create exclusive wearable sculptures with the use of precious materials. Since 2009 this London-based gallery is exclusively collaborating with distinctive contemporary artists including Ilya & Emilia Kabakov, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Enrico Castellani, Erwin Wurm, Giorgio Vigna, Jannis Kounellis, Rebecca Horn and Tatsuo Miyajima, Pedro Cabrita Reis and Ai Weiwei.
