A glowing, warm room on a cold, wet November evening - this is how the Stadtstadel presented itself at the vernissage of the exhibition "The fascination of form. Sculpture, Plastic, Drawing." by Mechthild Ehmann.
The pianist Larissa Richter from Munich and the flutist Antipe da Stella from Zurich framed the wonderful art of Mechthild Ehmann with a wide-ranging musical program. The herself vividly explained to the guests how her abstract sculptures made of glass and gilded bronze are created, which are already being compared to the works of Hans Arp in Belgium and France. The artist's proximity to France, in particular Paris, became the central theme of the evening. The two musicians played works by Saint-Saen, Poulenc and Gabriel Fauré. With 'Opening' from Philip Glass' 'Glasworks' embedded in a play of light in the dark room and three pieces composed especially for this evening by David Bertok from Los Angelos, the colorful sculptures were illuminated in all their depth. It was a fascinating experience for the eyes and ears.
Immersed in the age-old tradition of the Beaujolais Nouveau festival, complete with French delicacies, the evening was a genuine delight for everyone - artists, musicians and guests - in a triad of art and culture.
