Tracing each artist's early history, their meeting in Switzerland and their eventual move to Yorkshire, the book includes assessment of their work with pioneers of modern church architecture in both Switzerland and the UK, their contribution to the development of art jewellery from the mid-1960s, the debt owed by European artistic friends and collaborators including David Weiss, later of Fischli and Weiss who worked for both Gruber and Stieger in the 1960s, and the de
