GOLD (Farben der Kunst)

Gold - the color of kings and light. From the royal death mask to biblical scenes, from opulent portraits to gilded toilets - gold fascinates and has captivated art. Byzantine mosaics, Aztec jewelry, Giotto's altarpieces, Rembrandt's portraits, Klein's monochromes, Koons' neo-kitsch art.

Gold is used to address all themes and adorn all materials. It adorns itself with the greatest riches to support our imagination or to criticize the consumerism of our society. But isn't our fascination with gold precisely in this contradiction?.
