For almost 20 years, the artist and goldsmith Peter Bauhuis has been exploring a technique for which as yet there are hardly any references. Applying experimental curiosity and creative materials research, he has since worked on the simultaneous casting of different metals, plumbing the depths of the materials' limitations. He plays with chance, directing it so that the vessels emerge in ever new variations. As the metals oxidize, gradations o...

From Jewellery to Contextual Art" presents the work of the artist and professor Elisabeth Holder and showcases her unique evolution. Coming from a classical goldsmithing background, she placed jewelry in relation to ancient signs and the ornamentation that emerged from them, pursuing the examination of materials in the charged arena between mastery and dialogue, and posing the fundamental question of what jewelry is and can be. This led to a p...

The name Johann Joachim Kaendler (1706-1775) is closely entwined in the eighteenth century with the golden age of the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory. His exceptional artistic talent, coupled with craftsmanship, enabled him to capture the daily life of the nobility in their palaces and residences in numerous figures and groups. In doing so, he did not limit himself to official events but reflected tastes and aspirations as well as current trends...

Gabi Dziuba's jewelry is stringent, laid-back, fragile, minimalist, glamorous, and progressive. Blister packs, coins, beans, or letters are turned into willful creations. Collaboration with close artist associates is characteristic of her work, including those with Günther Förg, Hans-Jörg Mayer, Martin Kippenberger, Heimo Zobernig, Monika Baer, and Alexandra Bircken, whose works are included in this monograph. This highlights the openness of D...

Hollow goose eggs, natural sponges, packaging, balloons featuring smileys, shoe soles, scientific gauges, or even his mother's gallstones-the repertoire of things elevated to jewelry objects knows no bounds for the Norwegian artist Sigurd Bronger. His "portable objects" are turned into wearables by means of artful hanging mechanisms. For Bronger, jewelry is a means of communication. The questions he poses with his works relate to function and ...

The catalogue Tunnel presents works from 2018 to 2023 by ceramicist Johannes Nagel (*1979). The majority of the objects were formed by the artist's hands digging into sand to form cavities, negative spaces, which were then molded and revealed using liquid porcelain. By doing this, says co-author Esther Niebel, the artist imprints his own presence in to the objects. In addition to the extraordinary shapes thus created, expressive colors and the...
