SWISS JEWELRY DESIGNER SUZANNE SYZ, RENOWNED FOR HER INIMITABLE CREATION WHICH COMBINE WHIMSICAL AIRINESS WITH SOPHISTICATED REFINEMENT, WILL SHOW OVER THIRTY PIECES OF HAUTE COUTURE JEWELRY AT THE MARIANNE BOESKY GALLERY IN NEW YORK FROM 25.OCTOBER TO 29.OCTOBER. THE OCCASION MARKS THE FIRST TIME CONTEMPORARY ART COLLECTOR SUZANNE SYZ WILL PUBLICLY SHOW HER EXCLUSIVE JEWELRY CREATIONS IN THE CITY WHICH MORE THAN ANY OTHER PLACE HAS IMPACTED HER LIFE AND WORK IN A MAJOR WAY. BORN IN ZURICH AND EDUCATED IN PARIS, SYZ MOVED TO NEW YORK CITY IN THE 1980s, AN ERA WHICH ART HISTORY WOULD EQUATE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WITH THE CITY. ANDY WARHOL, JEAN-MICHAEL BASQUIAT, JULIAN SCHNABEL AND JEFF KOONS BECAME NEW YORK'S BODY AND SOUL AND IT WAS IN THEIR MIDST THAT SYZ FIRST DISCOVERED AND THEN RAPIDLY DEVELOPED HER TASTE AND EYE FOR CONTEMPORARY ART. SHE BECAME AN ARDENT SUPPORTER AND COMMISSIONER OF THEIR WORKS AND FORMED A COLLECTION WHICH TODAY, MORE THAN THREE DECADES LATER, NOT ONLY CAPTURES HER COLLECTOR'S NATURE BUT ALSO SERVES AS AN INFINITE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR HER JEWELRY CREATIONS. RADIANT COLOURS, AUDACIOUS COMPOSITIONS AND UNUSUAL MATERIALS CREATE A GENERAL SENSE OF STRONG INDIVIDUALITY AND SPIRIT WHICH IS AS MUCH PART OF HER JEWELS AS IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF HER ART COLLECTION. ALL OD SYZ'S PIECES ARE UNIQUE AND HER FINAL DESIGNS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT ARE THE RESULT OF AN EXPLORATORY JOURNEY WHEREBY SHE PUSHES THE BOUNDARIES AND TECHNICAL KNOW-HOW AND CRAFTSMANSHIP WHILE EMPHASIZING THE UNIQUE AND EXCEPTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SEMI-PRECIOUS STONE SHE ACQUIRES ALL OVER THE WORLD. A STUNNING HIGHLIGHT ON VIEW AT THE MARIANNE BOESKY GALLERY INCLUDES A RING MADE WITH AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE 180 CARAT YELLOW SAPPHIRE.
