The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) held a kick-off party for LOOT: MAD About Jewelry at Kay Unger’s remarkable SoHo residence. The soirée sparked inspiration for the upcoming annual exhibition and sale, which features designs from 55 emerging and acclaimed international jewelry artists, held this year from April 8 through 13.
Ms. Unger introduced Chris Scoates, the Museum’s recently appointed Director. Trustees Marsy Mittlemann and Joan Hornig thanked everyone for their support while LOOT curator Bryna Pomp explained the exhibition, highlighting the new work and artists that will be on display.
Trustees Michele Cohen, Lewis Kruger, Angela Sun and Barbara Tober all were there with guests including Claudia Aronow, Bonnie Bernstein, Laurel Fairworth, Pamela Glassman, Boo Grace, Lauren Lawrence, Jennifer Olshin, Annette Vas and Maria Celis Wirth.
Artist, sculptor and jewelry designer Adria de Haume was in attendance; she is MAD LOOT’s 2019 co-honoree.
