Here is a book about food and metal. Together with her grandmother, Anna would bake coffee cakes and breads in their outdoor oven at 8 years of age. Her dream begins to take flight when she sees the interaction between cooking and metal. At age 13, Anna declares to her parents that she wants to become a silversmith. She goes on to school in Gothenberg to learn from Thore Eldh. Her award winning design in holloware and flatware has been commissioned by the royal family; the emphasis is function as well as beauty in her art work in silver. The book also features great recipes.

Exner is well-known internationally from the numerous exhibitions of his exquisite metalsmithing during the last 30 years – in Japan, the USA, and Europe. While his jewellery has been exhibited regularly and has won many awards, his church art has to be sought out in the fifty or so medieval and modern churches in Denmark where it is to be found. This book shows Exner’s work from different perspectives: from a historical- Catholic point of view, from a secular-artistic angle, and from Bent Exner himself, speaking personally about his craftsmanship and his philosophy.

In the last twenty years the Woolf family has been most generous in lending to the many Fabergé exhibitions organized around the world. The Lahti loan differs in both the quantity and that the pieces inculded have not been widely viewed by the public. Thirty-five items were chosen for the Lahti Art Museum show and are representative of the true “Woolf taste”, which is a fine blend of simplicity, quality, artistry and humor. They indicate a preference for the Russian Modern Style, Art Nouveau and Orientalism.

This exhibition displays the exquisite works from the Fabergé jewelry house in St. Petersburg and Moscow. This exhibition serves as a reminder both of Sweden’s past ties to its neighbor in the east and Sweden’s fascination with what they considered the exotic Russian Empire. In fact, many of the master jewelers have Swedish names, yet another reminder that Russia once belonged to Sweden. Swedes regard Russian crafts very highly, as the elegance and inherent value of these objects mirror the excess characteristic of the time of the Empire. Though this excess eventually led to the fall of the Empire, it was also responsible for the wondrously imaginative and dazzling handicrafts that emerged from its most renowned jewelry house. This book presents a complete catalog of over 300 works, as well as a detailed chronology and essays elaborating on topics such as the Fabergé house’s historical background, artwork, and its relationship with Sweden.
