Artist Jewelry & Diane Venet

Born in Paris, Diane Venet has been immersed in the art world from an early age. Surrounded by a family of collectors, her father Jacques Segard was President of the Société des Amis du Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris for several years. From 1967 to 1976, she worked as a radio and TV journalist, co-presenting the weekly cultural program Samedi Soir on France 2. Diane's first marriage was to a French diplomat, with whom she lived in Japan and Morocco, and had two daughters, Esther and Bérénice. After meeting French sculptor Bernar Venet, Diane moved to New York in the late 80s, and assisted her husband in organizing his exhibitions around the world. Diane Venet is an avid collector of art as well as artist's jewelry. She was able to solicit the loan - and sometimes even the creation - of pieces by many of the most important sculptors and painters of the 20th and early 21st centuries for her successful and highly acclaimed exhibition "Bijoux Sculptures" at Robaix's Musée La Pisc
