Balthasar Burkhard
Balthasar Burkhard (24 December 1944 – 16 April 2010) 〔(Photographer Burkhard dies )〕 was a Swiss photographer who received international recognition for his large-format monochromatic photographic series.
==Life==
Born in Bern in 1944, Burkhard was apprenticed to photographer Kurt Blum. After opening his studio in 1965, he was retained as documentation photographer by the ''Kunsthalle Bern'', cooperating closely with curator Harald Szeemann and portraying many artists. This triggered Burkhard's interest in contemporary art. He came to international attention in 1969 through the exhibition of large-format photographs created together with the Bernese artist Markus Raetz, which included a 1:1 scale photograph of Raetz's study. Burkhard and Raetz were the first artists worldwide to expose photographs directly onto canvases using a self-developed technique.〔Niederhauser (2010): "Als erste Künstler weltweit belichteten die beiden in einem selber entwickelten Verfahren Leinwände."〕
After moving to the USA, Burkhard tried to find work as an actor in Hollywood, thinking that his distinctive face might make him suited for a career as a movie villain.〔 Instead, he was appointed Visiting Lecturer of Photography at the University of Illinois in Chicago, where he taught from 1976 to 1978.〔 His first dedicated exhibition in 1977 at the Zolla/Lieberman Gallery in Chicago was followed by regular stays in New York and participation in film projects.〔
After his return to Switzerland in 1983, he worked in La Chaux-de-Fonds and Bern, cooperating with several other artists. His works came to be regularly exhibited worldwide, at times in up to 20 group exhibitions simultaneously. From 1990 to 1992, Burkhard taught as a visiting lecturer at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Nîmes, having moved to France in 1990. Towards the end of the 20th century, he began to focus on urban photography and directed the film ''Ciudad''.〔 In 2007, he married Vida Rudis, a teacher whom he had met in Chicago.
