20 YEARS: Rhianon Vernon-Roberts Memorial Collection of contemporary Australian jewellery

Alice says : Hello jewelies,

The Art Gallery of South Australia has opened a new exhibition in Gallery 19A 20 YEARS: Rhianon Vernon-Roberts Memorial Collection of contemporary Australian jewellery. For the first time the complete collection is on display and is a marvelous record of contemporary jewellery. This free exhibition runs until mid-September. Go have a look. Then go have a look again. And again...  Alice x

from AGSA website:

Rhianon Vernon-Roberts at work in her Sydney studio, 1989


The Gallery’s collection of contemporary Australian jewellery is being exhibited in its glorious entirety, for the very first time.

The Rhianon Vernon-Roberts Memorial Collection, established in late 1991, consists of more than one hundred items of jewellery by fifty-five innovative contemporary jewellers, making it one of the most important collections of its type in Australia. The collection promotes one-off, experimental studio jewellery developed for exhibition. From precious materials to found forms, the jewellery in the exhibition highlights the capacity of artists to push material and conceptual boundaries.

The Rhianon Vernon-Roberts Memorial Collection was established and is actively supported by Dr. Jane and Prof. Barrie Vernon-Roberts AO in memory of their daughter and talented jeweller, Rhianon (1964–1990).
