Balthasar Burkhard

Balthasar Burkhard was a renowned Swiss photographer celebrated for his large-format, monochromatic series that explored the artistic and technical possibilities of the photographic medium. Born in Bern in 1944, he began his career in the 1960s documenting the international art scene and later gained international recognition for his objective, physically detailed photographs. He passed away in Bern in 2010, leaving behind a hermetic and poetically deep photographic oeuvre.
