UNTITLED. THOMAS GENTILLE. AMERICAN JEWELER

Thomas Gentille – born in 1936 in Mansfield, Ohio and now working in New York – is one of the leading jewelry artists, not only of the USA but the world. To mark his 80th birthday, Die Neue Sammlung is devoting a large exhibition to him, encompassing for the first time his entire oeuvre and introducing its different aspects. It is also the first time that the museum has devoted a monographic exhibition to the work of an American jewelry artist. The exhibition is organised in collaboration with the artist and staged on the light-flooded second floor of the rotunda in the Pinakothek der Moderne. Museums which own pieces by Thomas Gentille include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, and Die Neue Sammlung in Munich.
