In March 2008 Andy Lim of the boutique European publisher Darling Publications contacted every jeweller he had met since his introduction to Karl Fritsch in December 2006. Each member of this first group was invited to select another three jewellers who then selected two who in turn chose one.
After 24,000 emails the result was the publication in December 2008 of a two volume set weighing 13.5 kilos showing the work of 1044 makers from 54 nations.
Twenty four of the artists included in the publication are represented by Fingers and each has been invited to show their recent work alongside the publication which will be on display in the gallery during the exhibition.
