2007
It was a busy year for Primavera Gallery! Take a look at all the publications that we were featured in:
Have you seen our fabulous Andrew Grima bracelet artistically used on the cover of departures? This is an exceptional bracelet – one of the best pieces of his that we have had.
No-one did spirals like Calder – perfectly proportioned, and stunning in its simplicity.
Etienne Cournault was an artists who did reverse-painted glass, and his pieces are rare and wonderful. He worked in collaboration with Jean Despres to produce some extra-ordinary jewelry.

These wonderful, sensual lips have been loaned to many museums, and received a lot of publicity.

Animals and insects have long been popular subjects for jewelry – see some of our beautiful examples in this article.

Art and Antiques Magazine recently wrote about our collection of Gio Ponti pieces in “Industrial Strength” (11.01.2007). This article is not to be missed for collector’s of Ponti’s work.
The Magazine Antiques interviewed Audrey Friedman for their Collecting 101 column. See “Not Your Mother’s Jewelry: A Conversation with Audrey Friedman of Primavera Gallery” from October 2007.
PRIMAVERA GALLERY was praised in “Granny’s Tasteful Old Gold,” a review that was featured in New York Social Diary on October 15, 2007, for our exhibition at The International Art + Design Fair.
Audrey has been collecting rare estate Verdura jewels with great foresight for many years. Friedman is an expert nurturer and developer of great private collections. Consider her the source.
Wendy Moonan, of The New York Times, announced “PRIMAVERA MOVES” in her Antiques column, May 18, 2007. “After 35 years on Madison Avenue, Primavera Gallery has moved to a large, light-filled space in Chelsea on the eight floor of the 210 Eleventh Avenue, at 25th Street. Primavera has long specialized in the late -19th-century and 20th-century decorative objects (jewelry, glass, ceramics, silver), paintings and furniture, like Poillerat, Pascaud, Arbus, Adnet, Chareau, and Printz. Unlike most dealers in the decorative arts, the owners, Audrey Friedman and her husband, Haim Manishevitz, also have vitrines full of antique jewelry, from Bulgari, Boucheron, Chaumet, Cartier, Mauboussin, Verdura, Suzanne Belperron, Seaman Schepps and Jean Schlumberger.
‘Our emphasis is on signed pieces from Art Deco through the 1950s, not large diamonds or masses of precious stones,’ Ms. Friedman said.
The shop also has a large selection of French and Italian glass, from Daum, Emile Galle and Lalique to Venini; and modern lamps, which may explain the gallery’s popularity with decorators.
