Patina Gallery, in collaboration with Germany’s Peter & Sue Schmid of Atelier Zobel celebrate 20 soul-stirring years together in a brand new virtual experience.

Patina presents a multi-day, virtual festival celebrating the monumental work of Peter Schmid. The festival explores what elevated the atelier as an innovative revelation in art jewelry, the beginnings of Patina’s relationship with Schmid, to where we are now, 20 years later.

Throughout our program, Patina offers an exclusive and intimate look into the world of Schmid’s Atelier Zobel, from the comfort of your home.

Emotive, intoxicating, exotic. Peter Schmid’s Atelier Zobel has won the hearts and minds of collectors spanning across Europe and into Santa Fe. Since the gallery’s beginning, Allison and Ivan have continued to adore Schmid’s level of craftsmanship, design and style, which have earned his jewelry a home across Patina’s oeuvre of handcrafted works.

"From our first exhibition with Peter Schmid in 2000, it was an artful marriage made in heaven for Allison and myself. We immediately fell in love with the bold, dramatic nature of the jewelry that came from the atelier in Konstanz, Germany. As a new gallery at the time, Allison and I were sure that bringing Zobel to Santa Fe would be more than a perfect fit. Atelier Zobel was and is still making extraordinary, wearable works that only the most daring artist would imagine and actually create, and since the beginning, Patina has remained steadfast in being the most daring gallery of its kind."
Ivan Barnett, director of Patina Gallery

Expressions made of sterling silver, often mixed with palladium, platinum and high karat gold, illustrate Schmid’s alchemic understanding of material that allows him to create dramatically beautiful works of art. The artist amazes collectors as lustrous talismans emerge, imbued with the atelier’s signature medley of matter, from diamonds and pearls, to moon rock and petrified stone.

Join us as we venture into the world of Schmid’s Atelier Zobel. Through our two-decade story of extraordinary jewels, groundbreaking ingenuity surfaces in the ever evolving friendship, partnership and collaboration from years gone by and in those to come.
