Thanks a lot to all visitors of our exhibition talk about Francesco Pavan on the evening of January 23 in Nuremberg’s Neues Museum. I just got pictures from my colleague Petra Hoelscher who attended this event with our director Florian Hufnagl last Wednesday. We apologize for the delay of this post but meanwhile – which means on Thursday and Friday – Petra and our director had a “short” trip to Hamburg and back, just like that … so, you see – there wasn’t really much time to exchange information of how it was in Nuremberg during this talk in our Pavan exhibition.

Well, obviously it was a great evening. Really interested and most attentive visitors – among them silversmith Paul Mueller of Nuremberg. And Bettina Sauerbruch-Meese has had so much to say about this  Italian “maestro” of jewelry that is was not only informative but also enjoyable to listen to her.  Being a student of Franz Rickert at the Art Academy in Munich, she later became professor in Kaufbeuren-Neugablonz at the Schmuck Fachschule and taught a lot of students. She also successfully conducted this school for quite a long time as a vice-director. But most important: She has known Pavan for a very long time. So who would have been more apt and authentic to give this talk than herself!

We are very much obliged that Bettina Sauerbruch-Meese agreed to come to Nuremberg, and to do this talk in our exhibition. We say THANKS to her and to all our guests!
