With her complex pieces of jewelery, Bettina Dittlmann from Rottal stands out at the exhibition “Danner Prize 2020 – 100 Years of the Danner Foundation” in the Munich Pinakothek der Moderne.
Ironically, the gaudy exhibition architecture in red tones fails with the most important exhibit. At least a little. Because the coral-red brooch “Wohin” of the Passau native and Rottaler-by-choice Bettina Dittlmann, which was crowned with the main prize 2020, lies in a flat glass showcase on a pink-red background. That bites. But otherwise there is not much to criticize about the exhibition “Danner Prize 2020 – 100 Years of the Danner Foundation” in the Neue Sammlung in the Munich Pinakothek der Moderne. Not even that the crackling colors of the seemingly omnipotent steles in bright magenta and neon orange actually bite each other.
That is daring – but on purpose and trend. These massive square columns of Potemkin nature without a load-bearing function turn the normally difficult to play with “white cube” with artificial skylight on the ground floor into a beautiful room with various zones. In which the presented heterogeneous pieces of the best handicrafts can be shown quite decently. Among them are huge spherical ceramic vases by Christiane Wilhelm, an astonishingly decorative golden tabernacle from the early days of the jewelery pope Hermann Jünger (1928–2005), a silver jug (1952) by Henning Koppel or a glass sculpture (1991) by the studio glass founder Libensky / Brychtová.
