Corinthian Bronze - Nordic Gold

Peter Bauhuis bridges these two cast metal vessels, two separate alloys, through their peculiar stories. They both have to do with the sense of touch. Nordic Gold was developed to be the alloy for the euro cent coins. It is categorised by its strong resistance and is non-allergenic properties. Corinthian bronze was loved by the Romans, contains 1% gold and can be patinated to be black. The latter patina is constantly improved by touching the piece.
