Launch
LizWorks
Cameo
Wednesday, October 16, 2019, 6–7:30pm
Gagosian Shop, New York
Gagosian Shop is pleased to present the launch of Cameo, a new project from LizWorks in collaboration with Catherine Opie and Cindy Sherman. Founded in 2014 by Liz Swig, LizWorks partners with leading contemporary artists to create one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces and accessories. Taking its name from a tradition of portraiture dating all the way back to antiquity, Cameo updates and reimagines this classical art form for the present day through the lens of photographers Opie and Sherman. A selection of these limited-edition cameos—each hand-carved in Torre del Greco, Italy, under the vision of third-generation cameo maker Gino di Luca—will be available. To attend the free event, RSVP to cameorsvp@gagosian.com.
