Epsiode 34: Applying principles of art collecting to high jewelry. Lisa Anderson, Art Advisor, Curator and Founder, @BlackBritishArt, joins us to explore how the principles used to build a contemporary art collection can be applied to collecting jewelry as art. We discuss how to balance emerging, mid-career and established artists (and jewelers), as well as how she approaches her curation of emerging artists for exhibitions and fairs, such as the Venice Biennale and Art Basel and how this information can be used to build or add to a jewelry curation as well. Artists discussed (some participating!) include El Anatsui, Sonia Boyce, Latoya Boyd, Simone Brewster, Nick Cave, Jasmine Thomas Girvan, Lauren Harwell Godfrey, Anthea Hamilton, JAR, Lenique Louis, Steve McQueen, Munnu The Gem Palace, Chris Ofili, Ebony Patterson, Taffin, Emmanuel Tarpin, VAK, LR Vandy, Mickayla Yearwood-Dan and Inonge Zita. We take viewer questions throughout. Interested listeners can also view additional imagery at the Beekman New York instagram @beekmannewyork as well as to view the full interview at the Beekman New York Fine Jewelry Podcast on YouTube.

Each episode of the series features a conversation between Dr. Sharon Novak, certified gemologist and co-founder of Beekman New York, and an industry expert within the luxury space, highlighting their shared joy and appreciation of fine jewelry. Topics include mixing period jewelry with modern pieces, heritage and craftsmanship of luxury jewelry houses worldwide, certfied natural and phenomenal gems and collecting vintage jewelry.
