Arnoldsche Giampaolo Babetto: My World
Simple form soaring to delicate compositions shapes the work of the Italian artist Giampaolo Babetto. Moderate in his use of proportion, he links cube and square, cylinder and circle, pyramid and triangle to achieve configurations of extraordinary beauty. His jewellery is celebrated - like all his work. His pieces clearly indicate that he belongs to the 'Paduan School'. There are echoes of Minimalism, Neo-Plasticism, Neo-Constructivism and arte programmata/cinetica. In this title, a wealth of colour illustrations shows the most beautiful pieces by Giampaolo Babetto and his immediate environment - the Euganean Hills south of Padua. Ellen Maurer Zilioli introduces his work, placing it in its art historical context.

Arnoldsche Dorothea Pruhl: Colliers/Necklaces
As used in German, the French word 'collier' denotes a particularly valuable form of neck jewellery - it represents a promise and betokens dignity to the woman wearing it. This is the sense in which Dorothea Pruhl lays claim to the term for her jewellery. Spaciously gestural, Dorothea Pruhl takes full advantage of the powers of persuasion inherent in what is only seemingly a simple form. Her feeling for form, schooled as it is on the Classic moderns, is based on a sculptural idea and takes proportion and scale into account. Concentration on essentials, empathy in the extreme and vigorous plasticity are the distinguishing features of her works. They are the critically reflected expression of an entirely subjective artistic agenda. More or less recognisable, the object visualised contains no subliminal messages: hence it permits no interpretations containing extrinsic references. These are works that are exactly what they purport to be. They are not ambivalent. There is no narration, none at all.

Arnoldsche David Bielander: Twenty Years. 2016-1996
The Swiss artist David Bielander (b.1968) is one of the most significant proponents of contemporary art jewellery in the world. With him, nothing is what it seems: corrugated cardboard is actually silver or gold, Wiener sausages are a chair in a coffee house, shapely lips are made of rubber...This ambiguity distinguishes his work as much as his exceptional knowledge of materials and artisanal skill. Created with the support of Pro Helvetia, Schweizer Kulturstiftung, David Bielander offers the first, comprehensive review of this multi-award-winning artist, who with his conceptual reflection and power of imagination creates works full of wit and sensuality. With essays by: Gijs Bakker, Maria Cristina Bergesio, Rutger Emmelkamp, Karl Fritsch, Toni Greenbaum, Florian Hufnagl, Bernhard Schobinger, Marjan Unger, Jorunn Veiteberg et al. David Bielander is represented in numerous museums worldwide.

The Swiss artist Otto Künzli has revolutionised modern art jewellery. In the 45-odd years in which he has been addressing the topic of jewellery, Künzli has carved out for himself a unique position of far-reaching international influence, not only as an artist and a pioneer but also as an author and mentor.

An extraordinary artist's book designed in close collaboration with Otto Künzli and Die Neue Sammlung - The International Design Museum Munich. Otto Künzli was born in 1948 in Zurich, Switzerland. Since 1991 Künzli has held the Chair of Art Jewellery at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich - as the successor of Prof. Hermann Jünger.
