Willy Kautz critically broadens the legacy of Mathias Goeritz by referring to his "Metachromatic Messages" to merge through written quotes with the design of a font or alphabet by Fray Gabriel Chavez de la Mora (1929-2022), who was actually a student of Goeritz at the Guadalajara University School of Architecture, of the spirituality of gold and its financial speculation as assets, establishing a synergy between rationality and desire, between faith and pragmatism, between art-object and this as merchandise governed by the art market.
Kautz- Jippies Asquerosos expands on gold's spiritual and materialistic implications in his works Alethèia and Noli Me Tangere. The artist says, "Noli Me Tangere is a biblical theme from the Gospel of Saint John, in which he narrates how, after the resurrection of Christ, Mary Magdalene recognizes him and tries to touch him. Christ answers him: Noli Me Tangere (don’t touch me). As you know, it is a classical theme widely represented in art history. I decided to do it in gold to exalt the value attributed to the work of art, a sacred object that cannot be touched."
