Renowned American textile artist and sculptor Gyöngy Laky (b. 1944) was once described as a "wood whisperer." Her highly individual, puzzle-like assemblages of timber and textiles helped to significantly propel the growth of the contemporaryfiber-arts movement. Laky's art traverses an extraordinary personal story: Born amid the bombings of World War II, she escaped from post-war, Soviet-dominated Hungary; a sponsorship from a family in Ohio, grade school in Oklahoma, and a course of study at the University of California, Berkeley, followed, before founding Fiberworks Center for Textile Arts in the 1970s and fostering innovations as a professor at the University of California, Davis.The publication "Screwing with Order" provides insight into her studio practice, activism, and teaching philosophy, whichchampions sustainable art and design, original thinking, and the value of the unexpected.

Der virtuose Silberschmied Earl Krentzin (1929-2021) nutzte sein enormes Talent für figürliche Skulpturen. Er setzte als einfühlsamer Dramatiker und vollendeter Requisiteur seine Arbeiten in Szene: Mit trockenem Humor zeigen die Figuren wie auf einer Bühne die Absurdität des Lebens. Krentzin vertrat dabei eine einmalige Position in der Welt der modernen Crafts-Bewegung und hatte mehr mit dem Goldschmied Benvenuto Cellini aus dem 16. Jahrhundert gemeinsam als mit seinen Zeitgenossen.Taming the Beast zeigt die ganze Bandbreite von Krentzins Kreationen: edle Taten, gefährliche Unternehmungen und einfaches Vergnügen, beruhend auf seiner Liebe zu Spielzeug, Bewegung und Mechanik. Mit Humor und Pathos in seinen theatralischen Aufbauten überzeugt dieser moderne Meister bis ins kleinste Detail. Amüsement und Tagtraum beflügeln die Phantasie.

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.
