Christophe Guye Galerie announce an exhibition of works by Swiss photographer Balthasar Burkhard (1944-2010, Switzerland) in Kabinet II of the gallery. Burkhard was an outstanding photographer who worked as both a documentary and artistic photographer from the 1960s onwards. After his training with Kurt Blum and his first commissions - for example as a documentary photographer for the Kunsthalle Bern under Harald Szeemann - he developed pioneering works such as the ‘Photocanvases’, in which photographs were exposed directly onto canvases. His work, which moves between photography, sculpture, object and painting, is characterised by clear, reduced black and white pictures.
