Elke Sylvia Krystufek
A ubiquitous talent across a vast artistic landscape: Elke Sylvia Krystufek works in the fields of painting and photography, stages installations, writes plays, creates collages, and deconstructs established perspectives.
Erwin Lang – Artist and Designer
In 1911, he exhibited his artistic works for the first time, together with Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele, and also worked as a book illustrator using his characteristic woodcut technique. Grete Wiesenthal, his first wife, often posed as his model.
Sebastian Menschhorn – Text and Form
Texts worn on the body are one of Sebastian Menschhorn’s passions. The motivations are varied and complex, and the transitions are fluid. Are they mottos like those once found on the coats of arms of Renaissance princes? Are they slogans, statements, insights? Messages to the world around us? Or rather self-affirmations – mottos to be seen and kept in mind every day so that they can be lived up to. And help keep away the distractions along life’s path.
Hubert Schmalix – Irony without pathos.
“In the 1960s and ‘70s, nearly every artist was creating jewellery as well. I wonder why this is no longer the norm today. It’s very exciting to work in a different métier, like jewellery, ceramics or glass.”
Feathers to Adorn – and Adore
For Köchert – the Imperial and Royal Court jewellers to the Habsburgs – it was somewhat of a challenge to transform the delicate feather into something precious and enduring.
Xenia Hausner – Left, Right
For our company, the internationally known artist Xenia Hausner designed earrings entitled “left, right”.
Julia Landsiedl – Endemites
Julia Landsiedl reinterprets the traditional concept of the parure – a set of matching jewellery consisting of a necklace, earrings and brooch – in a refreshing, contemporary way.
Boris Podrecca – Basilea brooch
Boris Podrecca’s sensitivity in the choice of materials and colours is also reflected in his jewellery designs for the house of Köchert.
Eva Petrič – “Chromosomes in Love”
Love is the focus of this jewellery edition – love exists on all levels, in all colours and in all forms.
Julia Obermüller
At a very young age, jewelry designer Julia Obermüller won an important competition – it shouldn’t be the only one.
