Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Embossing, punching and guilloche engraving are techniques that have almost faded into oblivion. These trailblazing manufactory production methods were crucial to the rise of Pforzheim's jewellery industry in the nineteenth century. Today they are experiencing a new lease of life in contemporary jewellery. The 'Manufactory-Style Jewellery Design' project fosters the passing down of experiential knowledge through the collaboration of artisans and designers from three generations.In 2005 the German Commission for UNESCO recorded the project in the German Register of 'Best Safeguarding Practices for Intangible Cultural Heritage'. This book presents an excerpt of this success story by means of archive material and interviews with former masters, explains how the machines work, and illustrates many examples of how these traditional techniques can be put to use in contemporary art jewellery.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In the Biedermeier scenes and idylls of the early works by Carl Spitzweg (1808-1885), odd misfits, soldiers, monks and maids are all featured in the middle-class provincial milieu of the time. Informed by a free painting style, however, the landscapes of his late works have more of an Impressionist air.

In a time when political, economic and social relations in Europe underwent complete change, the nobility and an increasingly stronger middle class often drew upon the authoritative symbolism used to establish their identity of earlier times. They placed great value on the exquisite handcrafted work and most luxurious materials of their goblets, pitchers, services and jewellery items. Particularly coveted were objects furnished with dedications from prominent personages, such as Empress Elisabeth 'Sisi' of Austria.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Joaquim Capdevila (geb. 1944) ist ein Meister der Goldschmiedekunst, der es auf unnachahmliche Weise versteht, traditionelles Handwerk und zeitgenössische Schmuck-Avantgarde miteinander zu verschmelzen. Seine in der Malerei liegenden Wurzeln sind dabei unverkennbar, doch bemalt Capdevila nicht einfach Metall, vielmehr sind seine Schmuckunikate die Materialisierung eines kreativen Prozesses, in dem sich Metall und Farbe zu einer neuen Einheit verbinden. In rund 50 Jahren hat der in Barcelona ansässige Schmuckkünstler ein einzigartiges Werk geschaffen, das nun erstmals in einem 175 Stücke zählenden Überblick vorgestellt wird. Pilar Vélez untersucht darüber hinaus die künstlerische Entwicklung Capdevilas und seine Rolle als Pionier und bedeutender Vertreter der Neuen Schmuckkunst in Europa.…
