untitled (15) Brooch, 1992
This is a Brooch. It was designed by Keith Lo Bue. It is dated 1992 and we acquired it in 2016. Its medium is assembled found objects (patinated metal pocket watch case, leaf, glass beads, crushed glass, 19th-century engravings, watchmaker's glass vial, cork, sand), glass paste, metal. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
LoBue creates jewelry from materials he finds as he walks about the world. He collects old objects, imagining that they are ready to tell their story through his dreamlike pieces.
