Werner Frei

Press release

Galerie Fabian Lang and the estate of Werner Frei - his three daughters - are delighted to celebrate the life and works of this exceptional artist. We cordially invite you to the vernissage.

A perhaps forgotten master from Zollikon Zurich, who died in 1983. His works are of a freshness and radiance that is unrivalled, and it is astonishing how much of his stylistic influence can be found in the works of contemporary artists today. He was a humanist, a philanthropist and someone who is fondly remembered by all who knew him. And, in particular, he was a genial artist whose oeuvre ranges stylistically from impressionistic portraits, landscapes and still lifes, to wild, tachistic abstraction, to a pioneering ‘Concrete Impressionism’ and minimalism. We are proud to present a selection of his best works from five decades.
