Provenance

Where it came from

This scholarly monograph was published in 2005 to accompany a major exhibition at the Bard Graduate Center, which sought to reexamine the historical significance of the Danish silversmith Georg Jensen. The volume provides a comprehensive look at how Jensen transitioned from a traditional metalsmith into a pioneering figure of the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements, bridging the gap between handcrafted luxury and modern industrial design.

The book explores the collaborative ecosystem of the Georg Jensen Sølvsmedie, highlighting how Jensen curated a studio that nurtured talent like Johan Rohde and Henning Koppel. It documents the evolution of the brand's iconic aesthetic, characterized by organic forms and natural motifs, and provides critical analysis on how Jensen’s design philosophy managed to maintain its prestige through the shifts in twentieth-century decorative arts.
