This partnership demonstrates Korloff’s commitment to audacity. It also highlights a striking interplay between the artist's and the jeweler's repertoires. The evocative power of the color black, on which Pierre Soulages developed a major part of his pictorial work, is also a fundamental pillar of Korloff's identity. In acquiring an exceptional black diamond in 1978, the house disrupted the prevailing codes to impart its philosophy of brilliance, strength, and energy, just as Pierre Soulages did by inventing ‘outrenoir’ and highlighting his play of light. Through this partnership, which pays tribute to an artist who pushed the boundaries of painting and embodies modernity more than ever, Korloff emphasizes the importance it places on the renewal of creativity in all its forms.
