Dorothea Prühl (*1937, Breslau) is one of the most outstanding protagonists of contemporary jewellery. Not only does Prühl create with expert hand statements made out of gold and silver, wood, aluminum, titan or stainless steel, her works are at the same time awe-inspiring testemonials of her interpretation of the essential, without neglecting the interrelations of jewellery with society. From 1994 to 2002 Dorothea Prühl led the jewellery class at the Hochschule für Kunst und Design „Burg Giebichenstein“ in Halle.
This exhibition set up in cooperation with the gallery Marzee in Nijmegen (NL).
