Giuseppe Reichmuth

Giuseppe Reichmuth was born in Affoltern am Albis in 1944. He is a very versatile artist working in multiple art forms, from painting to performance art and film. One of his most famous paintings was “Zürich Eiszeit” (Zurich Ice Age, 1975), which was interpreted as a symbol of Zurich’s coldness and backwardness as criticised by the youth movement. His performances included walking around Zurich hand in hand with Ruedi Häusermann, both of them dressed up as policemen (1985), and hanging clothes on a line inside the University of Zurich.
