From early cultures to the present, gold has been a significant art historical phenomenon, symbolizing temporal and spiritual values.

Path of Gold explores the profound significance and diverse applications of gold as an art historical phenomenon, spanning from ancient cultures to the present day. Throughout significant shifts in value and spiritual reorientations, gold emerges as a meaningful element, symbolizing both temporal and spiritual values. In the realm of painting, gold consistently signifies change, liberation, and transformation.

Moreover, gold holds a paramount position as a color and artistic medium, resonating with Swiss artists Heinrich Eichmann (1915-1970) and Barbara Diethelm, both born in 1962. Eichmann, known for his "Gold Paintings," created numerous plates and murals in various architectural contexts. His works, particularly the "Gold Paintings," have gained widespread recognition. In contrast, Diethelm, a color researcher, delves into the creative forces of nature, resulting in the development of a unique gold-colored substance. Her paintings evoke concrete places where layers of human cultural development intersect and come to the forefront.

In conjunction with an exhibition at Helmhaus Zurich in spring 2022, this book presents full-color reproductions of Eichmann's and Diethelm's works, accompanied by insightful texts by artist Barbara Diethelm, art historian Guido Magnaguagno, curator Daniel Morgenthaler, and the South African author and conservationist Linda Tucker. The text is available in both English and German, enhancing the reader's understanding and appreciation of the artists' contributions.
