Description

Malgorzata KREFTA, born 1982 "Teñzorioù ar mor", 2024 Ring in oxidized silver 925 thousandths set with colored stones (amethyst, citrine, ruby, 3 padparadcha spinels) Chasing, hammering, melting, lost-wax casting. TD 53.5 Gross weight: 22.48 g Oxidized silver ring with wild, assertive volumes inspired by plant elements. Set with 6 colored stones embedded in the material. A poetic and evocative creation, an ode to the richness of Breton nature. --- Malgorzata KREFTA, born 1982 Of Polish origin, Malgorzata Krefta moved to France at the age of 30 and discovered her passion for jewelry. She lives and works in Plougasnou. Trained at the Institut des Arts de la Bijouterie, in Aix-enProvence, her apprenticeship was largely self-taught. Her attraction to the organic aspect of contemporary jewelry led her to experiment with materials and explore ancestral techniques. For the past two years, she has been combining design, art and craft, drawing her creativity from Breton landscapes and nature. The Breton universe resonates with her Slavic and Baltic origins. She is a member of the Courants d'Art art collective in Morlaix. Inspired by the ephemeral, she imagines and creates ethical jewelry in 18K gold and sterling silver with an eco-responsible approach. Her approach to jewelry is unconventional, working a pre-established idea directly into the material, without sketching it out. She interprets organic shapes and textures, rocky landscapes and tiny forms of plant life, giving them a raw rendering. For the event, she offers a selection of assertive sculptural pieces made from recycled materials of verified provenance.

RENÉ BURRI (Zurich, 1933 - 2014). "Che Guevara." Havana, Cuba, 1963. Gelatin silver. Later printing. Signed, titled and dated in ink (in the margin). Provenance: Cortez private collection, New York. Measurements: 22.5 x 32.5 cm (image); 30.5 x 40 cm (frame). René Burri did not know that he was photographing one of the characters who would become one of the most iconic martyrs of the 20th century. It shows Che Guevara smoking a Havana cigar, in an attitude that reveals a strong personality. The Swiss photographer would say of that moment: "Che's proud face is actually one of anger. I was in his office in Cuba, sent by 'Magnum' and he was fighting with an American journalist who had traveled with me. He looked like a caged tiger and didn't even notice me, so I was able to take all the photos I wanted!". The image, which would become one of Che's most iconic, was taken in the office of the then Cuban Minister of Industry. René Burri was a Swiss photographer and filmmaker. He studied at the "Zurich School of Decorative Arts" (1950-1953), where he learned to compose with light and to consider light in relation to shadows. The "Burri touch" was born from these classes, which shaped his look: the refined elegance of a composition, the subtle, open and meaningful play of the solid lines of an image. He ascribes to the "humanist photography" dominant in Paris in the fifties and there he photographs special and delicate moments, in the style of Izis and Doisneau. However, taking Cartier-Bresson as a model, Burri began to search for documentary photographs that were denser than the reflection of simple anecdotes. As Ernest Hininger's camera assistant, he also began to shoot small documentaries. In 1955 he joined the Magnum Agency and began to travel around the world, shooting portraits, landscapes, political and social reportage, architecture and industry photography, etc. In 1982 he opened the Magnum Gallery in Paris, together with Bruno Barbey. Since 1988 he has been artistic director of the magazine Schweizer Illustrierten. Among his most famous photographs are a photo of the city of São Paulo (Brazil) and a photo of Che Guevara.
