This book examines the significance and use of gold both as an art historical phenomenon and in the works by Swiss artists Barbara Diethelm and Heinrich Eichmann.
Path of Gold traces the significance and use of gold as an art historical phenomenon, from early cultures to the present day. In periods of fundamental shifts in value and spiritual reorientation, gold appears consistently as a meaningful element: the ultimate precious metal always symbolized temporal as well as spiritual values. In painting, gold always indicates a change, liberation, and transmutation.
Gold as a color and means of artistic expression of utmost importance also links Swiss artists Heinrich Eichmann (1915–70) and Barbara Diethelm, born in 1962. Eichmann created numerous plates and murals in different architectural contexts, of which the best-known are his “Gold Paintings.” In her work, Diethelm, who also works as a color researcher, has developed a new gold-colored substance and pursues the creative forces of nature. Her paintings refer to concrete places where layers of human cultural development overlap and come to the fore. In this book, published in conjunction with an exhibition at Helmhaus Zurich in spring 2022, full-color reproductions of Eichmann’s and Diethelm’s works are supplemented with texts by Diethelm, art historian Guido Magnaguagno, curator Daniel Morgenthaler, and the South African author and conservationist Linda Tucker.

Softcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. M : 120 Seiten, 66 farbige Abbildungen - Gold als Farbe und künstlerisches Ausdrucksmittel von zentraler Bedeutung verbindet auch den Maler Heinrich Eichmann (19151970) mit der 1962 geborenen Malerin und Farb-Forscherin Barbara Diethelm. Eichmann gestaltete zahlreiche Bildtafeln und Wandbilder in unterschiedlichen architektonischen Kontexten, die bekanntesten sind seine Goldbilder. Barbara Diethelm geht in ihrer Arbeit den Gestaltkräften der Natur nach und entwickelte eine neue goldfarbene Substanz. Ihre Bilder stehen in Bezug zu konkreten Orten, an denen sich Schichten menschlicher Kulturentwicklung überlagern und durchdringen. Seller Inventory # ABE-1711112153585
