Flashes of light and reflexes, sparkling, glistening or faintly shimmering –
one of the earth’s most precious materials is presenting itself from
its finest side, in the form of tableware, a free object or cutlery.
Whether embossed, soldered, mounted or cast, it is the artistic quality
of the silver that counts. 147 designers took part in the competition
of 15th.Silver Triennial, among them not only longstanding silversmiths
of high repute, but also students and young talent from the up-and-coming
generation.
The jury has selected some 100 works for the exhibition. They provide
insights into the multi-facetted spectrum of contemporary silversmiths’
art, which includes both everyday objects such as teapots, vases or cutlery
as well as free sculptural works. Items submitted from 19 different countries
and prize-winners from Italy and Korea underline the international standing
of this Triennial.
