Her material is silver, not gold, with a vernacular created from the classical canon of fundamental forms. The Archaic aspect of her work conveys peace and power-not to be mistaken for coolness and distance. The fast pace of living today grinds to a halt when observing her works, when sensing the cautious, tentative way of communicating that allows us to discover an emotional depth, the joyful, the radiant, but also the vulnerable side of the artist ... and ultimately of ourselves. These are the jewelry objects by Therese Hilbert, the Swiss-born former student of Max Fröhlich in Zurich and Hermann Jünger in Munich.One needs to take the time to sense all the tenderness, as well as the irrepressible force, held within her jewelry. The volcano theme has therefore also played a decisive role in her work since the 1990s.

The architecture by Arne Jacobsen and Otto Weitling is of outstanding importance for post-war modernism in Germany. The calibre of their projects, however, has been forgotten. Gesamtkunstkwerke closes this gap in the appreciation of their work with a comprehensive presentation of seven out of eight German projects by the Danish master architects. Jacobsen and WeitlingΓÇÖs Scandinavian functionalism is a reflection of the visions of the former FRG ΓÇô designs and commissions grounded in democracy, prestige and efficiency. The publication also takes stock of how the legacy of late modernism is being handled. The journey through the architectsΓÇÖ locales leads us to the sea, to model towns and to the intricacies of modernism, prompting a debate in accordance with Otto Weitling: ΓÇÿPros and cons would be a positive sign because a building that isnΓÇÖt talked about is usually not worth talking about.ΓÇÖText in English and German.
