The starting point is our outstanding collection of prints by Rembrandt and Dürer, whose works are shaped by profound religious, spiritual, and existential themes.

At the same time, historical printmaking and contemporary jewellery share a deep commitment to craftsmanship: precise line work, meticulous execution, and masterful control of materials—qualities essential both to the copperplate etching and to the art of the jeweller.

SACRED FORMS brings these historical narratives into dialogue with contemporary jewellery art from Munich.

The focus lies on thematic resonances: Faith & Doubt, Ritual & Body, Transcendence & Material, Symbol & Identity.

The participating jewellery artists reinterpret these themes in new, personal, critical, or poetic ways. The dialogue arises from meaning, not stylistic imitation.

Over 100 years ago, in 1923, the art historian Georg Karl and the Germanist Curt von Faber du Faur founded an auction house in Munich. KARL & FABER is committed to the arts in many ways in and around the city: Our goal is to make the city more attractive as an art location for young talent and to promote the diversity and renewal of the Munich art scene in an international context. Thus, as an internationally active auction house, we organise charitable events and benefit auctions locally, support the local museums and artist-run spaces and promote the development of Munich into a nationally and internationally important art location. Since 2013, we have donated the Karl & Faber Prize of the Stiftung Kunstakademie every three years.

Artists:
Sylvia Berté, Marion Blume, Angelika Brinkmann, Albrecht Dürer, Florian Clemens Meier, Patrik Muff, Nora Reitelshöfer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Regina Rupp & Julian, Arayapong, Ursina & Wespengott
