Martin Katz Unveils Energia della Vita Gold-and-Gem Spheres for Roggi Retrospective

Martin Katz unveiled Energia della Vita, a limited-edition series of gold-and-gem spheres, in Paris on February 18, 2026, as a companion to Tuscan sculptor Andrea Roggi’s retrospective Andrea Roggi – 50 Years of Creation, which runs from February 13 through March 8, 2026. Katz, the Beverly Hills jeweler, staged the presentation to coincide with the exhibition’s run, aligning his micro-jewels with Roggi’s half-century survey of sculpture.

The pieces themselves are described in the announcement as gold-and-gem set spheres, created expressly to accompany Roggi’s Paris show. Katz’s choice to render jewelry as spherical objects mirrors the volumetric language of sculpture on view in the retrospective; presenting the work in Paris on February 18 made the collaboration a deliberate cross-disciplinary gesture during Roggi’s exhibition window of Feb 13–Mar 8, 2026.

Andrea Roggi’s retrospective, titled Andrea Roggi – 50 Years of Creation, centers on five decades of the Tuscan sculptor’s output and provided the curatorial context for Katz’s series. The timing of Katz’s presentation placed his Energia della Vita pieces in direct dialogue with Roggi’s larger forms and materials, offering collectors and visitors a moment of comparison between wearable gold and gallery-scale sculpture during the Paris exhibition.

Katz presented Energia della Vita as a limited-edition run; the specificity of that restriction underscores both scarcity and collectibility, qualities that matter to collectors assessing provenance and value. By debuting the spheres in Paris while Roggi’s retrospective remained on view through March 8, Katz ensured that the pieces were experienced alongside the sculptor’s work rather than as an afterthought, situating his Beverly Hills atelier within the exhibition’s international moment.

The collaboration between Martin Katz and Andrea Roggi folded jewelry into the narrative of a major Paris retrospective, linking Katz’s gold-and-gem spheres to Roggi’s 50-year career. With the exhibition continuing through March 8, 2026, collectors and visitors who attend the Paris show will encounter Energia della Vita in the same cultural frame as Roggi’s sculptures, a rare occasion when high jewelry is presented as a deliberate companion to museum-scale work.
