Rosenthal, Joel Arthur: JAR Paris. Volume I. Exhibition: London, Somerset House and New York, National Academy of Design, 2013. 684 (unpaginated) pages, with 397 colour illustrations. Hardback. 33.7 x 26cms. Reprint of the 2002 edition of the catalogue originally published on the occasion of the exhibition at the National Academy of Design, New York in 1987. Founded in 1977, JAR has remained a secret to many, except for those lucky enough to own a piece by him. Joel Arthur Rosenthal is a jeweller who works to the highest standards using traditional methods of craftsmanship, yet constantly pushing technique beyond its limits, to allow for increasingly unusual and beautiful pieces. Each jewel is unique, made of precious and semi-precious stones mounted in rare and unusual metals, the stones themselves dictating the style of the piece. This exhibition brings together 400 of JAR's exceptional and sought-after creations, never before displayed on this scale in public.
