Rosemarie Jäger (left in picture, slightly obscured), a delightfully cultured lady, runs a gallery in Hochheim (hence NQM) in her used-to-be-a-winery house.

Attracts top artists in almost any 3-dimensional medium you can imagine and the room – large, high, light-flooded – is just a treat.

The current exhibition is titled “R o s é a London flavour – metal to celebrate 20 years” featuring 3 silversmiths from the Royal College of Art in London.

Simone Ten Hompel works traditionally, David Clarke takes existing objects – teapots, for example – and makes them into Pythoneseque quirky, non-functional objects and Hans Stofer (professor, no less) makes…..um… an old Heineken tray, 6 dayglo-painted tin cans and a dayglo painted budgie that appears to have fallen off its perch.

Oh, and a silver spoon on top.

A snip at €1000……
