Solid Gold

Brooklyn Museum
November 16, 2024 – July 6, 2025

The Museum at FIT has loaned an Anna Sui necklace to Solid Gold. As a material and a color, gold has symbolized beauty, honor, joy, ritual, spirituality, success, and wealth throughout history. It has also taken on myriad forms: from millennia-old depictions of an idealized world to opulent 13th- and 14th-century Italian altarpieces and intricate Japanese screens, to contemporary artwork and haute couture marvels. With a sweeping range of objects and a global perspective, Solid Gold traces the many odysseys of the metal that has influenced cultures and legacies worldwide.
