Is contemporary art’s recurring turn to a material with a rich
tradition an attempt to free the precious metal from its historical
heritage, from grandeur and pathos? Is the saying “all that
glitters is not gold” thus put to a test by transferring or
shifting the always sought-after, glittery material to other
contexts? The exhibition Doré | Vergoldet | Gilded and
accompanying catalogue bring together works of contemporary art
that deal with gold as a material and colouring agent and thus
reflect the notions of value and symbolic power connected with it.
