*Otto Künzli. Gold makes you blind, 1980. Rubber, gold*
Otto Künzli encased gold in a rubber bangle so it could not be seen. This work reflects the "critique of preciousness" in contemporary jewellery which comments on the arbitrary nature of gold as a source of value. In its place, it proposes aesthetic qualities such as creative originality.
