Elisabetta Cipriani invites world leading contemporary artists to create aesthetically innovative and socially relevant wearable art projects. Since the opening of her namesake gallery in London in 2009, Elisabetta’s pioneering vision has redefined the boundaries between jewellery and fine art, capturing the imaginations of artists and collectors worldwide.

The gallery has collaborated with over 50 critically acclaimed painters and sculptors, including Ai Weiwei, Chiharu Shiota, Giulio Paolini, Ilya & Emilia Kabakov, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Enrico Castellani, Erwin Wurm, Giorgio Vigna, Jannis Kounellis, Rebecca Horn, and Pedro Cabrita Reis, to name a few.

The creative process starts with Elisabetta proposing an artist to develop a wearable art project. This can often be challenging for artists who are approaching the realm of wearable art for the first time. Through a trial-and-error experimental process, the artist creates a series of prototype sketches encapsulating their practice and idea. Elisabetta closely follows the production process; then, once the prototype is approved by all parties, either the artist or a specialised goldsmith produces the final piece. The outcome are exceptional wearable art pieces that represent the artists’ most intimate expressions.

Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery’s projects are part of museums and private collections worldwide, including Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris; Museum of Art and Design, New York; World Jewellery Museum, Seoul; and The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg. A selection of projects were featured in the From Picasso to Koons: The Artist as Jeweller touring exhibition of art jewellery curated by Diane Venet.

Elisabetta Cipriani participates in leading art and design fairs, including Design Miami and Design Basel, TEFAF Maastricht, Artissima Turin,  MiArt Milan, PAD London, and PAD Monaco, Salon Art + Design New York.
