Working with goldsmith Hans Langenbacher for many years, Dieter Roth designed an unusual series of rings on which various heads can be set or screwed, preferably different kinds of "hats". Besides the original pieces, the exhibition shows plans, drawings and letters throwing light on the collaboration between artist and goldsmith.
