Cartier and Women is the first major museum publication to provide an in-depth exploration of the Cartier creations from the perspective of women’s role and influence. Featuring approximately 300 stunning examples of Cartier jewellery, timepieces, precious objects, and archival records from the 19th century to the present, this 376-page catalogue includes essays and entries written by an impressive team of scholars and experts from the Hong Kong Palace Museum and Cartier, celebrating women’s lives, creativity, and individuality while exploring the close relationship between women, jewellery, and fashion. These fascinating stories illustrate women’s long quest for beauty and autonomy. They also shed new light on how art from China and world cultures has inspired Cartier and influenced women’s lifestyles and global fashion.
Available in English and Traditional Chinese, and standard and deluxe versions, the book is published by the Hong Kong Palace Museum and accompanies an exhibition of the same name organised by the Hong Kong Palace Museum with the support of Cartier, which runs at Gallery 8 of the Hong Kong Palace Museum from 14 April to 14 August 2023.
