Eva Eisler
Eva Eisler (b. 1952) earned her international reputation as a jewellery
designer. Her works are imbued with architectural visions and
multifarious concepts. While Eva Eisler’s realizations in the fields
of interior and exhibition design, and fine art gradually gained
importance from the 1990s, her first public presentations had already
taken place in the early seventies in Czechoslovakia. Her mature
creative output is connected with her life in the United States, where
the artist moved to in 1983, together with her life partner, architect
John Eisler. From 2000, both are also working again in the Czech
Republic. The monograph explores the artist’s work throughout her
creative career and in its broad typological range. Emphasis is placed
on her jewellery design of the second half of the seventies and the
eighties when Eva Eisler formulated the fundamental stylistic and formal
concepts of her artwork. In the United States, the artist is regarded
as a representative of European art jewellery traditions, while in the
Czech Republic she is perceived as a messenger of the American artistic
approach. However, what matters more than the provenance of her
creations is their superb quality and distinctive originality.
