Sophie Hanagarth

Sophie Hanagarth is a metalsmith and jeweler based in Paris and has been teaching at the jewelry workshop of the HEAR (Haute Ecole des Arts du Rhin) in Strasbourg since 2002.

Trained in fine jewelry and then graduating from the Geneva School of Art and Design in 1995, Sophie Hanagarth creates a repertoire of ambiguous objects (adornments) where the shaping of materials and their relationship to the body spark questions regarding the nature of jewelry as an attribute. The singularity of her work lies in an approach that is both carnal and corrosive, unfolding through specialized metalworking skills and the stylistic grammar of jewelry.

She received the Herbert Hoffmann Prize in Munich in 2011 and the Françoise van den Bosch Foundation Award in 2014 in Amsterdam for her body of work. Her pieces have joined the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg, the Museo Internazionale delle Arti Applicate Oggi in Turin, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Mint Museum in Charlotte, the CODA Museum in Apeldoorn, the Schmuckmuseum in Pforzheim, the MUDAC in Lausanne, and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and Montreal.
