"Stones are silent teachers", wrote Goethe - and sought a deeper meaning in their speechlessness. The exhibition Von der Sprache der Steine at Villa Bengel takes up this idea and shows how art can give voice, expression and poetry to stone. On display are 15 works acquired from an estate by the internationally renowned gemstone artist Bernd Munsteiner (1943-2024), his son Tom and grandson Philipp Munsteiner, father and son Werner and Dieter Lorenz, the sculptor couples Kubach-Wilmsen, Kubach-Kropp and Vitalis Kubach as well as Milena Naef and David Bielander.
From the Gemstone and Jewellery Campus are represented: Erik Lijzenga, Olga Krysanova, Vanessa Zöller and Maryam Akbarpour. A book tower by Kubach-Wilmsen is on permanent loan to the Villa Bengel garden.
Opening: Thursday, 3 July 2025, 6:30 pm at Villa Bengel and via livestream on the Jakob Bengel Foundation's Instagram channel, with a welcoming address by Peter Wenzel and an introduction by Wilhelm Lindemann.
Opening hours: Tuesday - Sunday: 10 am - 5 pm.
