The Dallas Museum of Art has announced the acquisition of the Rose-Asenbaum Collection, an exemplary group of over 700 pieces of modern studio jewelry created by more than 150 acclaimed artists from Europe and around the world. The Rose-Asenbaum Collection includes a broad range of works from the 1960s through the end of the century. It contains particularly strong holdings of jewelry designed by Georg Dobler, Emmy van Leersum, Fritz Maierhofer, Hermann Jünger, Daniel Kruger, Claus Bury, Peter Skubic, Francesco Pavan, Gert Mossetig, Anton Cepka, and Wendy Ramshaw, and reflects the diverse styles, techniques, and materials that defined the studio jewelry movement in the latter half of the 20th century.

2013 has been a record year for Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum, which hopes to greet its one millionth visitor in the New Year. The institution welcomed 700,000 patrons in 2013 -- the highest attendance rate since the Stedelijk opened in 1895.

The Stedelijk recently underwent a complete renovation to its historic building and reopened to the public on September 23, 2013. The overhaul included an expansion so that the museum could exhibit more of its remarkable modern and contemporary art collection.

The Stedelijk will kick off 2014 with the first large-scale design exhibition since the museum’s reopening. ‘Marcel Wanders: Pinned Up at the Stedelijk’ will debut on February 1. Other exhibitions in the New Year will include a show featuring the work of jewelry designers Gijs Bakker and Emmy van Leersum (opening on February 22), a selection of works by Canadian photographer Jeff Wall (beginning on March 1st), new work by Paulien Oltheten & Anouk Kruithof (opening on March 14), a selection from the collection Martijn and Jeannette Sanders (opening on July 19), and a survey of the work of painter Marlene Dumas (starting on September 5).
