Born 1948 in Zurich, Switzerland, Otto K\u00fcnzli is widely considered to be \u201cone of the most intelligent makers in the jewelry world and also one of the most sceptical.\u201d (Ralph Turner).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

He has revolutionized modern jewelry art. In the 45-odd years in which he has been addressing the topic of jewelry, Otto K\u00fcnzli has carved out for himself a quite unique position of far-reaching international influence not only as an artist and a pioneer, but also as an author and mentor. Otto K\u00fcnzli\u2019s works are based on complex reflection, conceptual and visual imagination. The result: objects with a clear, minimalist appearance, captivatingly crafted to perfection, and highly visible \u2013 jewelry that adorns and at the same time possesses an autonomous aesthetic status of its own.

The exhibition of Die Neue Sammlung \u2013 The International Design Museum Munich \u2013 will premier in the Schaustelle of Pinakothek der Moderne, and is being realized in close cooperation with the artist. It includes around 150-200 objects and groups of objects from the artist\u2019s various creative phases. This not only includes the jewelry items but also interdisciplinary conceptual works in the areas of photography and installation. By looking back, providing future perspectives and considering where jewelry stands today, the exhibition is essentially the first retrospective of Otto K\u00fcnzli\u2019s highly diverse work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/content-reveal>\n\n\t\t
