A Jewel of a Feast - Anke AMO Akerboom

Until 27th October 2024

A retrospective exhibition of the work of master goldsmith and jewelry designer Anke AMO Akerboom can be seen at the Silver Museum in Schoonhoven, Netherlands.

At ‘A jewel of a feast’ the visitor discovers how Anke transforms a seemingly worthless material into a valuable piece of circular jewellery. In her own words: “thereby creating jewellery that not only serves to decorate, but can also disrupt and shock.”

This exhibition offers an overview of the last 45 years. With ‘A jewel of a feast’ she celebrates these years, looking back and ahead.

Anke Akerboom (1957) studied at the Vocational School in Schoonhoven, where it was swiftly apparent that she was not a standard student. Anke started her career with the well-known Amsterdam enameler Nico Witteman. As an independent goldsmith she restored enamel jewellery for antique dealers and the Dutch Royal Household. She received various nominations for her autonomous enamel work and was awarded the Japanese Mainichi Newspaper Award. While in Japan she studied under the renowned avant-garde artist-goldsmith Kohei Miyata.

Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday: 11:00 - 17:00

Admission: €13
