Vanessa Margowski & Delphine Pastor Reiss

Vanessa Margowski and Delphine Pastor-Reiss have known each other for many years. In 2005, they opened the 11 Columbia gallery in Monaco, a pioneering venue whose programme of contemporary art and design has led them to collaborate with a number of prestigious international names, including Jousse Entreprise, Air de Paris, Esther Schipper, Nilufar, Franco Noero, Kreo, Downtown Laffanour and Galleria O. Initially trained in the art market, Vanessa Margowski worked for the Tajan and Artcurial auction houses. Delphine Pastor-Reiss has established herself as a collector of contemporary art and design. With a passion for the world of jewellery and a shared curiosity about its history and the immense creative repertoire that jewellers and artists have been developing for millennia, the two young women have joined forces to create Joya, a show that they hope will be unique and open to new creation.
