Wolfgang Rahs - Sieben Geschicke und viel Gebüsch / Seven Skills and a Lot of Wilderness

As early as the 1970s, Wolfgang Rahs (*1952) was inspired by the
avant-garde art scene in Graz by the contemporary art festival
Steirischer Herbst and the Forum Stadtpark collective, one of the
action groups and joint ventures of artists from different genres;
he is also member of the artists' union Gruppe 77. Educated
in metalcraft and goldsmithing at the Ortweinschule in Graz,
Rahs alternates in his works between jewelry, installation, performance,
and processual pieces-free works that reflect the
concept
of jewelry in an all-embracing manner. His examination
of myths (Skythisches Stillleben), of conditions he encounters
(Verdammte Brosche), and of his own existence (Mauspfad Köln)
plays a key role. An impressive publication on this exceptional
artist whose work challenges and therefore expands our traditional
understanding of jewelry.
