JOHANNES Kuhnen, co-director of the Bilk Gallery for contemporary metal and glass in Manuka, has just been awarded the Bavarian State Award in Munich for his recent vessel forms in anodised aluminium and titanium.
The award is selected every year for outstanding contributions in decorative art and design by the Bavarian State Government in Germany.
This year the work was selected from the invitational exhibiton Meister der Moderne in Munich, part of a major international jewellery forum in which Kuhnen entered three vessel forms, first shown here in Canberra in 2009 in his travelling exhibition “A Survey of Innovation” at the ANU’s School of Art Gallery.
Associate Prof Kuhnen, whose workshop is in Queanbeyan, is also head of Gold and Silversmithing at the School of Art.
