Tiffany & Co. announces today its latest creative venture with contemporary artist Daniel Arsham, debuting a limited-edition T1 bracelet and bust inspired by the artist’s bronze eroded Venus of Arles sculpture, currently on display at The Landmark.
Uniting Arsham and Tiffany’s shared ideals of innovation, masterful craftsmanship and rebellious creativity, the partnership boasts a limited series of 186 custom T1 bracelets in 18k white gold with tsavorites and diamonds, paired with a mixed-medium bust of the artist’s sculpture. The unique number of pieces specifically made as a tribute to the 186th anniversary of artisanal excellence at Tiffany & Co.
The bronze eroded Venus of Arles sculpture is an expression of Arsham’s “Future Relics” aesthetic, where the artist recontextualizes contemporary objects through the lens of an imagined future. The artist creates tension in time, achieved through the sculpture’s eroded quality and hand applied patina that is reminiscent of Tiffany Blue. The creation stemmed from Arsham’s visit to the Louvre’s archives where he was drawn to the statue, which dates to the 1st century. The sculpture was first featured at the Tiffany & Co. Vision & Virtuosity exhibition in 2022 at the Saatchi gallery in London. It currently is on display at The Landmark in New York City.
