Description
Going Underground: The Jewels of Bernhard Schobinger
examines the groundbreaking jewelry of this renowned Swiss avant-garde artist. Schobinger uses scavenged and alternative materials to reimagine jewelry as a subversive medium, harnessing its potential to reveal hidden layers of history. This strikingly illustrated catalogue features more than fifty pivotal pieces of experimental jewelry, tracing the artist's radical career, including his aesthetic inspirations in Dadaism and Concrete art, his Swiss cultural inheritance, and his abiding interest in Japanese culture. This publication places Schobinger's work in critical dialogue with the vast political and cultural forces that have informed it, from the long shadow of World War II to the anarchy of the punk underground and beyond.
