The hare is a widely used symbol in art and literature. The hare of Albrecht Dürer from 1502 is probably the most famous depiction of a hare. Joseph Beuys also used the symbolism of the hare in his influential 1965 performance entitled ‘Wie man dem toten Hasen die Bilder erklärt’.

In the Marzee Collection there are many pieces of jewellery depicting hares and for this exhibition we have again asked our artists for an object or jewellery around this theme.
