Precious metal & precious stones: artworks & design

Welcome to a private tour of the home of American collector Susan Beech. Since 1991, Beech has been transforming her house in Tiburon, California, into an extraordinary environment, in which the themes of her extensive jewellery collection interact with craft and fine art, all against a backdrop of Art Deco glamour. Beauty is contrasted with death and decay, and pleasure with the surreal and uncanny.

Fascinating juxtapositions such as these are also reflected in the current book. The richly illustrated publication is set within a framework of three essays that discuss Susan Beech the collector as well as the fundamental aspects of her collection. In addition, Damian Skinner leads the reader through the stylishly furnished house and presents the connections between this significant collection and the Art Deco-informed interior design.

The publication is accompanied by Susan Beech both as a model and in the form of statements, proving once more how life is enriched by art and jewellery.
