Gold: The Impossible Collection
Author: Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter
SHIPMENTS TO ALL COLOMBIA.
Why this enduring and universal fascination? Thanks to its irresistible luminosity and remarkable resilience, gold is the ideal medium for symbolizing both visible and invisible forces. Artists from Gustav Klimt to Andy Warhol and Yves Klein have exalted its metaphysical and fantastic nature. The ancient Egyptians regarded gold as “the flesh of the gods,” and Louis XIV, the Sun King, adopting Apollo as his symbol, transformed Versailles into a palace bathed in gold and light, setting a standard for all other royal courts in old Europe. As a symbol of victory, it imparts a resplendent aura to the new gods of award podiums and sports stadiums. Gold has always added a divine spark to any human endeavor. The dazzling effect of the hypnotic metal is universal, and it remains the ultimate representation of luxury.
