Pforzheim, Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim in association with the Stadtmuseum Düsseldorf and Deutsches Goldschmiedehaus Hanau, 1992. Small square quarto, [124] pages with over 100 colour illustrations. Colour pictorial papered boards very slightly rubbed; a fine copy. Published to accompany the exhibition of the same name, featuring Ullrich's jewellery. Text in German. 'From 1952-1955, Klaus Ullrich studied at the Werkkunstschule Düsseldorf and later taught at the Kunst- und Werkschule Pforzheim. As can be seen from his designs, he considered gold to be the central material of his jewelry design. Geometric forms were the basis of his compositions. In turn, he set accents with the help of stones, gold wire, silver, steel and bone' (Quittenbaum website).
