Homage to Werner Wild (1917-2003)

Om den här platsen

Ideally, works of art remain in the possession of one and the same family. It is then often the task of the place where they were carefully collected and guarded by collectors or heirs to pass them on to new hands. Such a situation has now also led to the dissolution of the studio and the exhibition "Homage to Werner Wild". Werner Wild was born in Ebmatingen on Lake Greifensee in 1917. He spent his childhood and youth in Wallisellen. From 1931 to 1935, he completed an apprenticeship as a painter. After further training at higher painting schools, he joined the BLS workshop in Bönigen in 1944 as a painter of lettering, wood imitations, track pictures and signals. In 1956, BLS AG also employed him as a works photographer, later even with his own laboratory. From 1960 he lived with his family in Bönigen. Werner Wild retired in 1982 and from then on devoted himself to his great passion, painting. Note: This text was translated by machine translation software and not by a human translator.
