The volume ‘Cartier Design: A Living Legacy’ will be published in September
A journey through the history of Cartier and its iconic jewels is offered through the pages of the volume “Cartier Design: A Living Legacy”which will be released as a catalog of the eponymous exhibition hosted at Museo Jumexin Mexico City.
The volume signed by Ana Elena Maletexhibition curator and art critic seeks to highlight how Cartier’s legacy serves as inspiration for new generations of designers around the world and how this range of his designs takes on a new spirit after reinvention by those responsible to continue, develop, renew and keep alive the great heritage of the house.
The exhibition featured more than 160 creations unusual watches, jewelry and decorative objects from the archive of the legendary jewelry house, Cartier Collection, as well as from private collections. The exhibition designed by Mexican architect Frida Escobedo also highlighted the ties of the house founded in 1847 to Mexico.
The site of the Museo Jumex was transformed into a temple as a tribute to the historic pyramids of Mexico. Frida Escobedo’s main inspiration was Tenayuca – a pre-Columbian double Aztec pyramid located about 10 miles outside of Mexico City.
The volume is divided into five sections, like the exhibition, each with a different theme: “The Early Days and the Birth of a Style,” “Global Curiosity,” “Jean Toussant’s Taste,” “Wearing Beauty and Counting the time” and “Maria Felix and Idols of Elegance”.
The volume “Cartier Design: A Living Legacy” will be published in September by Rizzoli.
