With technically mastered and creatively worked silver, this 'supreme discipline' is a centuries-old tradition. In order to give the tradition renewed stimulus, the Silver Triennial 2010 is held by the Association for Goldsmith's Art, for the 16th time; 158 artists from 20 countries took part in the competition; 83 of these participants and their outstanding works are represented in this publication. 'International' signifies a global review of the outstanding achievements from Europe, Australia, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and the USA. The selection was chosen by an independent jury. Exhibition: Goldschmiedehaus Hanau; Bielefeld; Antwerpen; Zons/Dormagen; Wasserschloss Klaffenbach/Chemnitz.
