BOOK REVIEW
The Jewelry of Deganit Stern Schocken
Like her jewelry, the title of Deganit Stern Schocken’s monograph, How Many Is One, is intriguing, stimulating, not easily unraveled, but rewarding when you pry deeper. This well-structured publication is a welcome addition to the modest number of in-depth books on Israeli art jewelers. For more than 40 years, Schocken has influenced Israel’s small but vibrant art jewelry world as both artist and teacher. She has achieved international recognition as a probing jeweler unafraid to challenge and provoke her audience.
