    Sculptor Martin Kargruber (b. 1965), from South Tyrol, Italy, forms each of his distinctive sculptural objects from a single piece of solid wood. He consciously uses the wood's natural properties and organic materiality in his architectural and landscape motifs, employing traditional techniques and interpreting them anewin extraordinary ways. He transforms the rigidity of the material into a seemingly gentle movement, incorporating the workmanship itself into an explicit part of the design. His representative motifs are characterized-above and beyond the formal concept-by intensive exploration into the reality of the living world and a high level of poetic abstraction.

    Joachim Baldauf, renowned proponent of international fashion photography, presents a new, previously unknown side to his creative output. Inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's "Walpurgis Night" in the tragedy Faust I and II, his portraits, studio subjects, and outdoor themes illustrate its content with artistic freedom. Thrilling, revealing, and erotic, all leitmotifs tell their own story, complement each other, and spark the imagination. From analog photography via mixed reality to the use of artificial intelligence, Joachim Baldauf moves masterfully through a complex network of possibilities, true to the maxim "Consider What, more deeply consider How" (Faust II, Act II).

    All the World's a Stage grants an in-depth insight into the fascinating oeuvre of the Israeli artist Attai Chen (1979-2023). The four series of jewelry presented in the book take a poetical look at the perpetual becoming and passing of life and of things, reflecting the complexity of these existential themes, at times with humor, other times with foreboding. In 2022 the artist himself described it thus: "I was always fascinated by the endless cyclical flow of things, be they in nature or in the man-made world; the movement of growth aimed at the fleeting moment of its realization, the consummation of this moment, followed by decay and finally a new beginning."

    Elisabeth von Krogh (b. 1947) has been a prominent figure in the field of ceramics in Norway for several decades. Her works have been acquired by numerous Norwegian collections, and her artistic oeuvre is well-known even beyond the art world.Describing von Krogh's works without resorting to what are often deemed clich.s is challenging. How does one articulate that something is simultaneously playful and colorful yet serious and complex? The works' duality is their strength, and the term 'playful'- referring to a beneficial and civilized aspect of humanity- assumes a new dimension in her realm. Play, like ceramics, is one of the few arenas where both body and mind are simultaneously challenged.This is the first comprehensive monograph on Elisabeth von Krogh. A retrospective of the last fifty years that opens up to the prospective of playful utopian spaces.

    After Glow documents the New Nordic Porcelain Forum, a project which focuses on the Nordic tradition of porcelain production. The focal point is the establishment of a collaboration between thirteen ceramic artists from the Scandinavian regions, who gathered for a residency in Denmark in 2019 and in 2021 for a two-week stay in various workshops associated with porcelain production in Norway, Sweden, and Finland.This publication not only serves as an exhibition catalogue; it also gives insights into the important industrial and design histories of northern Europe, as well as into today's use of porcelain as an artistic medium. In doing so, it is hoped that the production of Nordic contemporary ceramics will advance in a new collaborative praxis in order to transform and therefore preserve this important cultural heritage.

    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.
