BIG FAT CRAZY BOOTY

The art of the gold and silversmith at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich
The renowned course in the art of the goldsmith at the Academy of the Fine Arts in Munich and its international network has contributed decisively to Munich’s reputation as one of the leading international centres in this field. Past and present students come not only from Germany but from all parts of the world: from Korea, Australia, Japan, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, USA … Their creations are emotional, imaginative, unconventional, playful, thought-provoking, crazy, individualistic, garish, stark, highly personal, refined, conceptual, provocative …
The exhibition has been organised by the students themselves and continues the line of unusual and imaginative shows held every year by the Academy which have long enjoyed »cult status«. On display are not only the works of the current Künzli students but also those of previous graduates. All in all, the show presents some 90 artists and 400 exhibits. Art jewellery at the Munich Art Academy follows the great tradition of »Class in jewellery and objects« and former Professors Franz Rickert (1904-1991) and Hermann Jünger (1928-2005) who taught the class from 1972 to 1990. In 1991 Otto Künzli (born 1948 in Zurich) took over.
In 2008 the Art Academy in Munich will celebrate its 200th anniversary.
