The oldest work you find at the end of the site. The recent work you find at the top.
The last shown work on the site was made in 1982. At that time I was still at the art-school in Zürich. The work of the years 1989 till 1992 was done in New York. From 1993 on I' m working in Bern, Switzerland.
Since 2007 I mostly work on playwood: acryl, gold-leave on gesso on wood. Some works are on paper and cardboard.
