Karl Lagerfeld's Fire-Etched Glass Works Shown at Galerie Gmurzynska in St Moritz

In February, Galerie Gmurzynska's St Moritz location showcased nine glass pieces etched by fire, which included triptychs from Karl Lagerfeld's 2012 publication, The Little Black Jacket. These images were embedded in glass at a temperature of 1,000°C. Although he arrived two hours late to the opening, Lagerfeld spent nearly three hours giving interviews. The Zurich gallery has been exhibiting his works since 1996. His creative endeavors encompass various methods, such as using honey and rubber for printing, producing giant-format Polaroids, and creating large fire-etched artworks. With a collection of 300,000 books, mainly focused on art and photography, Lagerfeld draws inspiration from Bauhaus and collaborates with brands like Chanel, Fendi, and Melissa. His Paris studio mirrors traditional artist workshops, highlighting the importance of technical teams.
