Fredi Gertsch
Born in Switzerland in 1952, Fredi Gertsch has been a competitive swimmer, sports teacher, computer engineer, and a father of three boys. Unlike his kids, his sketches, goodnight stories, and daydreams of the past have never quite grown up. Today Gertsch trains his inexhaustible imagination in the studio, inventing new stories on canvas daily.
Fredi Gertsch’s cows lead adventurous lives, gracing homes far beyond their native Emme Valley. From "Lolita," who enjoys skyscraper views in Brooklyn, to "Fleurette" in the Swiss Alps and "VoguLisi" amidst the expansive plains of Texas, his paintings have traveled the globe. Gertsch's work is collected internationally, with his vibrant, lovable cows found in Singapore, Zurich, New York, Texas, Munich, Berlin, Sydney, Oslo, Salzburg, and Los Angeles.
