In periods of fundamental shifts in value and spiritual reorientation, gold appears consistently as a meaningful element: the ultimate precious metal always symbolised temporal as well as spiritual values. In painting, gold always indicates a change, liberation, and transmutation.<\/p>\n<p>Gold as a colour and means of artistic expression of utmost importance also links Swiss artists Heinrich Eichmann (1915-1970) and Barbara Diethelm, born in 1962. Eichmann created numerous plates and murals in different architectural contexts, of which the best-known are his &ldquo;Gold Paintings.&rdquo; In her work, Diethelm, who also works as a colour researcher, pursues the creative forces of nature and developed a new gold-coloured substance. Her paintings refer to concrete places where layers of human cultural development overlap and come to the fore.<\/p>\n<p>In this book, published in conjunction with an exhibition at Helmhaus Zurich in spring 2022, full colour reproductions of Eichmann&rsquo;s and Diethelm&rsquo;s works are supplemented with texts by artist Barbara Diethelm, art historian Guido Magnaguagno, curator Daniel Morgenthaler, and the South African author and conservationist Linda Tucker.<\/p>\n<p>Text in English and German.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The properties of gold as highly symbolic means of artistic expression and its eternal fascination reflected in the work of Swiss artists Barbara Dienhelm (born 1962) and Heinrich Eichmann (1915&ndash;1970).
