Nagelobjekte | Nail Objects

The specialized book "Nagelobjekte | Nail Objects" by Roland Pulfer offers a unique insight into the world of old nails, which are often lost in modern times. Pulfer, a passionate collector, seeks out and finds hand-forged nails that become one-of-a-kind due to their shape and history. In his studio, he examines these nails and arranges them into artistic compositions that are both aesthetically pleasing and meaningful. The book not only contains impressive photographs of the artworks but also features two introductory texts: "A Small Archaeology of the Nail" by Aurel Schmidt and a retrospective on the work of blacksmith Rudi Palla. Both texts are written in German and English, providing deep context to the objects presented. This book is a valuable resource for art and design enthusiasts, as well as for anyone interested in the history and craftsmanship behind everyday items.
