Last month Priscilla Jourdan Art Galley opened its doors. The gallery is only 3 square metres and rubs shoulders with window prostitutes, peep shows and a sandwich shop. In this tiny spot you can find fashion, art and design collections, both from Jourdan’s and other artists.
The Art Gallery is named Il Gioiello, Italian for The Jewel. This place is a true gem right in the middle of Amsterdam’s Red Light District. The shop window is an eye catcher. Jourdan, in the nude, sits on a horse....
