Artist list

Alexandra Bahlmann, Barbara Seidenaht
Both artists were trained by Hermann Jünger at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and found their own artistic paths in this dedicated and challenging environment. Both have gained numerous prizes and awards for their work, both teach at the renowned Rhode Island School of Design in Providence and both have their works on exhibition in international museums.


Alexandra Bahlmann exhibits new pieces in her speciality area, necklaces. Contrastingly set, gems in delicate and bright colours glint and glisten in blackened silver settings. Often accompanied by matching earrings and bracelets, arabesque, pointed, wavelike and looping shapes are composed into colliers of elaborate beauty and baroque playfulness.

The brooches of Barbara Seidenaht evolved from impressions of winter scenes and the consistent development of her enamelling art. She engraves lines into silver surfaces, finishing them with layers of transparent enamel and sparse touches of colour. Sometimes diamonds light up the cool, fine beauty of these transfigurations of ice crystals and winter storms. The artist’s latest works, notably her earrings, radiate in strong colours amidst pearls and experimental enamel surfaces. A self-confident and joyous start to the autumn.
