César Baldaccini, widely recognized as a pioneering French sculptor and key figure of the Nouveau Réalisme movement, also had a notable yet lesser-known career as a jeweler. While his large-scale sculptures, such as his compressed car pieces and monumental public works, earned him international acclaim, César’s foray into jewelry reflected the same innovative spirit that defined his artistic vision. Working with unconventional materials and bold forms, he brought a sculptor’s eye to the creation of wearable art, crafting unique pieces that resonated with his fascination for texture, structure, and the interplay of form. This duality in his work showcases his ability to seamlessly bridge the worlds of fine art and personal adornment.
