John and I have had a great time at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (MAD) this trip to Paris. One of the cool shows on view is From Calder to Koons, Jewellery by Artists which showcases the collection of Diane Venet. Let's have a peek at some of the pieces in the exhibition.

Or how about a John Chamberlain Brooch, 1998, in paint and aluminum?
Who could resist Erwin Wurm's Cucumber brooch, 2014 in silver and sapphires (an edition of 10)?
Well, let's end our little selection from the exhibition with Hiroshi Sugimoto's Eyeglasses, Oculist Witness, 2015 in silver with 7 pairs of tinted glass. Fun stuff!
