The art of jewellery and the art of photography have now come together in an exceptional collaboration between the Slavik Gallery and the photographer Julia Wesely. This project is reaching its culmination in the unique exhibition ART PHOTOGRAPHY MEETS ART JEWELLERY featuring Julia Wesely’s photos of select pieces of art jewellery worn by special friends of the gallery at equally special locations in Vienna. The original jewellery will also be on show, making for a fascinating dialogue between art jewellery and Julia Wesely’s art photography.

Julia Wesely is well-known for her unusual photo-stagings and quirky, actionist-style mises en scène. In her sensational portraits of famous musicians from all spheres of the music world she has demonstrated an exceptional gift for capturing her subject’s inmost soul. Aside from this speciality, her photographic compositions have something in common with still-lifes in the world of painting.

A picture can say more than a thousand words. With this thought in mind, we invite you and your friends to join us at what will certainly be an unforgettable and well-attended exhibition!

With warmest greetings

Renate Slavik & Jutta Pietsch
