Austrian Art Jewelry: Past and Present at NYC Jewelry Week 2025

Lückenfüller (literally ‘gap filler’ in German) serves as the theme of this exhibit. Thirty Austrian jewelry artists present their interpretations of what it means to fill a gap. Through contemporary jewelry, they transform absence into presence and invite visitors to reflect on what lies in between.

Join us for a supporting event at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York, featuring Austrian art jewelry and the presentation of the exhibition catalogue.
