Among Friends, Book preview
Helen W. Drutt will be present, as will some of the artists.

For 40 years, jewelry enthusiast Helen W. Drutt, who is now a stately 95 years old, has been traveling from Philadelphia to Germany, specifically to Munich. For this reason, three Munich institutions – namely the Danner Foundation, Die Neue Sammlung, and Galerie Handwerk – have decided to devote an exhibition to the grande dame of the international contemporary jewelry scene.
The exhibition is intended as an homage to Helen Drutt in gratitude for her decades of friendship with Munich and its cultural institutions, and above all her friendship with the artists – which is precisely what makes “Among Friends” a very special exhibition indeed.

The publication has been made possible by the exceptional generosity of the Benno und Therese Danner’sche Kunstgewerbestiftung München and is being produced by arnoldsche Art Publishers, Stuttgart. The graphic design is once again the brainchild of Ina Bauer, Stuttgart.
