This first volume of Otto Schmirler's work presents a representative selection of his oeuvre. The meaningful connection between function and artistic form was always paramount for the great master blacksmith. He crafted tens of thousands of pieces in his old forge on Vienna's Schönlaterngasse. Of particular value are the numerous drawings, which reveal both a wealth of ideas and a sure, powerful hand.
