occasion of receiving the Gesellschaft für Goldschmiedekunst's Ring of
Honour gives an insight into Ebbe Weiss-Weingart's philosophy and
working processEbbe Weiss-Weingart (b. 1923) is one of the pioneers of
international studio jewelry. For over seventy years she has enriched
the contemporary jewelry scene with her diverse works. Her inception in
the 1950s and 1960s with structured surfaces and galvanised sculptured
pieces will never be forgotten. Alongside figurative motifs - in
particular, her portrayals of humans and animals - she also created
pieces with an ironic and quirky touch. In her last phase of creativity,
which began in the 1990s, she had a penchant for working with jewelry
made from Chinese jade reliefs. Around 200 illustrations of these
jewelry objects documents her award-winning work, and along with
previously unpublished photographic material, expands on her hitherto
unknown accomplishments. Text in English and German.
