Description
In the 1960s and 1970s Helga Zahn (19361985) was one of the leading jewellery artists in Great Britain. She had a preference for silver and natural materials such as pebbles. Her vocabulary is formed from the clarity of simple geometric shapes the rectangle and circle from the simpilcity and sobriety of connecting elements mostly simple small rings and from an almost starkly reduced colour canon: silver, black, brown. Exceptional one-off jewellery pieces emerged, partly using found objects.
