More than 50 years ago, sculptor David Yurman and his wife Sybil, a painter and ceramicist, founded a New York City design house with the simple goal of making beautifully designed objects to wear. Today, David Yurman has become one of America’s foremost luxury jewellery brands, having redefined contemporary jewellery and revolutionized the industry across five decades of celebrated designs and paradigm-shifting collaborations with Peter Lingbergh, Gisele Bündchen, and more. To mark the publication of their new book Sybil and David Yurman: Artists and Jewelers (Phaidon), the Yurmans reveal their personal story and creative journey together through never-before-published stories and images from their archives.
Moderating the discussion will be Melanie Grant: a writer, curator and the Executive Director at The Responsible Jewellery Council. Author of Coveted: Art and Innovation in High Jewelry, Winged Beauty and 100 years in Creativity, she also writes for Vogue, Vanity Fair and Tatler among others. As a curator her exhibitions include Sotheby's London and New York, The Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery and Kensington Palace.
This talk will be streamed on Zoom and all ticketholders will receive a link the morning of the talk as well as the opportunity to watch a recording later.
