A Review of Réka Fekete’s Monograph, A Dance of Light and Shadow

Réka Fekete doesn’t have much time left. There is a time in our lives when things fall apart and we feel unable to control the slow collapse. It happens to all of us.

Réka doesn’t want to have a recurring cancer at age 39. She wants to keep making jewelry and living her life in Amsterdam with her husband. But she knows the end is coming soon, so with the help of some friends she decided to publish a monograph about her work to commemorate her love of art-making. Anything I say about the book pales in comparison to the circumstances under which it was made. Trying to put on a page images and words that sum up a life is an impossible task, but I will at least try to give you a summary of what the book looks like and what it says. These pages and words will help us remember Réka.

WHO WILL WIN AJF'S $7,500 AWARD??? FIND OUT THIS WEEK!!!
Wednesday, March 2, 12 p.m. EST

Since we can't be on the Internationale Handwerksmesse Main Stage to reveal the winner and finalists of the Young Artist Award (YAA), the next best thing is to make the announcement on AJF Live. The jurors—collector and gallerist Karen Rotenberg, curator Chequita Nahar, and 2020 YAA winner MJ Tyson—will announce their names. The four finalists and the winner will then present their work. Please join us in celebrating their achievements—let's raise our glasses to them!

The biennial YAA competition offers a prize of US$7,500 for the winner and US$1,000 for each of the four finalists, as well as an exhibition at Schmuck—art jewelry's biggest and most prestigious annual event—in July 2022.

This event is free, and open to members and non-members alike. For more information and to register, follow this link.
