Pinakothek der Moderne

Die neue Sammlung - The International Design Museum Munich

The Austrian Peter Skubic (b. 1935) is still considered the 'agent provocateur' among jewelry artists today. His first works in gold were created around 1969. At that time he and his friends declared: 'We¿re creating art. That's a revolution.' Within a short time he was considered one of the most highly-regarded and influential newcomers in this field internationally. His dictum: 'Jewelry making is also an intellectual discipline. ' The central principles of his design are austerity, clarity of proportion, precision, radical minimalism and uncompromising rebelliousness. Tension brooches, balancing objects - these are characteristic namings of just two groups of works. The artist/engineer Peter Skubic sees making jewelry as an experiment, a body happening, a creative liberating act going beyond established borders.
