Since the beginning of his creative work in 1980, Georg Dobler, the jewellery artist and lecturer at the University of Applied Arts and Science in Hildesheim, has engaged in working with geometrical forms. Also in the mid1980s, when he first drew on naturalistic elements, provoking an outcry in the jewellery world, his work was still bound by geometrical forms. It was exactly because naturalism was viewed as outmoded, however, that Dobler was viewed as a pioneer by the next generation of studio jewellery designers. The artist complements his casts from nature (exotic plants and beetles) ? Dobler sees himself as a collector of structures and forms ? with large, facetted stones as an artistic addition. Yellow to orange-glowing lemon citrine and tender lilac amethysts combine with the metal surfaces to create a shimmering play of colours. Pure silver shine is seldom found in Dobler?s work; his trademark is rather black chromium or oxidized silver surfaces that shine in iridescent black. Georg Dobler is not only a pioneer, he also finds inspiration among the great artists of early modern art. Thus in the mid1990s he drew on the abstract paintings of a Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky or Kazimir Malevich, who ignited his fantasy and inspired his compositions. ?Georg Dobler: Jewellery 1980?2010? spans the ?uvre of the Berlin jewellery artist from the early 1980s to the present. A breath-taking journey from geometrical forms to casts from nature, works with stones to his current work, which unite the entire creative work of the artist in a grand symbiosis.
softcover, oblong, 87 pages full color. + silver marks + bibliography,exhibitions, museums After many years researching over one thousand G.A. Scheid items, Eric Schaling published in July 2018 this book. It is the first one of its kind, bringing Georg Adam Scheids story, his achievements, his many markets and his importance back in todays world. He touches about all aspects of the business, where it was located (not only Vienna), who represented it in Europe, the Americas, Russian Empire. The funny story of Scheid pieces, which were made for the Russian market, suddenly marked with a Faberge mark or that many designs, especially for the 1900 Paris World Exhibition, where made by J.M. Auchentaller, but later contributed to Koloman Moser or the amazing fact, that Scheid worked for all four of the world famous glassware producers: Lalique, Daum, Galle and Loetz (his company produced the silver mounts). Scheids success was based on the highest quality standards of his time.

The fascinating history of gemstones in art and jewellery Gemstones have always been, since time immemorial, heavily charged with meaning and have even been regarded as magical objects. For that reason they have also been an art medium since the early modern age and have shaped as art symbols - in the form of the crystal - both Romanticism and Modernism, for example in the works of Caspar David Friedrich, Lyonel Feininger and many more. In the latter half of the twentieth century, not only have such artists as Bernd Munsteiner, Ute Eitzenhofer and Bernhard Schobinger rediscovered the gemstone; through the Hochschule fur Edelstein und Schmuck Trier/Idar-Oberstein and other similar specialist institutions it is also undergoing a revival in today's art production - right up to Damien Hirst. Text in English and German.

Sedert zowat tweeduizend jaar is brons een van de meest geliefkoosde materialen van beeldhouwers in Azië. Het cultureel en religieus erfgoed van India, Sri Lanka, Nepal en Tibet weerspiegelt de weergaloze kwaliteit die op het vlak van bronsgieten werd bereikt. Religies als het hindoeïsme, het jainisme en het boeddhisme hebben deze kunstvorm aangewend om hun voorstellingen van goden en helden te vereeuwigen. De kunstenaars lieten zich leiden door gespecialiseerde handboeken met precieze voorschriften over iconografie en afmetingen. Zij gebruikten hoofdzakelijk de methode van de ?verloren-was' of cire-perdue . Het originele beeld in was werd in een omhulsel van klei gevat. De was werd weggesmolten en in de plaats werd het brons gegoten. Het kunstwerk bleef op die wijze uniek. Soms werd het beeld ook gedreven of gehamerd in koperplaat, zilver of goud.

Friedrich Becker was a goldsmith of world renown and undoubtedly one of the most outstanding artistic personalities of our day, truly altering the course of goldsmiths' work in the latter half of the 20th century. Becker was the creator of kinetic jewellery and well known as a sculptor and designer. His work is collected by many major museums and has featured in inumerable exhibitions. The purity of form in his work laid the foundations for a new aesthetic style in jewelllery. Stemming from his preoccupation with precision, he combined high standards of workmanship with a supreme sublety. In his jewellery "wearable" art was born. The book focuses on the extraordinary genius of Becker, a master craftsman and mentor, who would have welcomed this exploration of his work to inspire artists and art historians alike. A fascinating survey of the versatile creativity of the artist, who as an internationally acknowledged gold jeweller and designer of kinetic jewellery left his mark on the goldsmithery of the second half of the 20th century.

Margaret Mee (1909-88) traveled to the Amazon area 15 times over a 32 year period, by canoe, on foot and often alone. Her paintings and sketches "could stand without shame in the high company of such masters as Georg Dionysius Ehret and Redoute" (Wilfred Blunt). Mee was a passionate conservationist and devoted her life to recording the diversity and beauty of the Amazon. She was one of the first to protest the destruction still taking place there. Sitwell in Great Flower Books describes her work as: 'exceptional and quite in the tradition of the great eighteenth-century books '. 'Mee's work is of an unusually high order of excellence and in the best tradition of flower painting' [Taylor, director of Royal Botanic Garden of Kew]. 'Mee was a talented botanical painter and intrepid traveller. . .an exceptional personality' [Oak Spring Flora]. One of the plants illustrated was discovered by Mee herself.
