Otto Müller (sculptor)


Otto Muller (Thalwil, August 4, 1905 - Zurich, December 25, 1993) was a Swiss sculptor.

Life and work

Müller followed a sculpture at the sculptor Ernst Dallmann in Zurich. He had such bad memories of this education, that he preferred himself a car actress. He worked in the workshop of the sculptor Karl Geiser and also worked as a steward. In 1940 he won the sculptor's tour of the city of Winterthur with the sculpture Zwei Arbeiter, which was a definite place in 1953. In the public space of Zurich, various traditional images and reliefs of Müller were placed. The work Kopf im Gehäuse from 1978/79 is in the garden of the Volkskunde Museum at the Pelikan Street in Zurich. Other works are Hirsch and Kuh und Kalblein from 1948 in Zurich-Friesenberg.

Müller won the Kunstpreis des Stadt Zürich in 1985. Among his students belonged to the Swiss sculptor Hans Josephsohn. Literature Sources Externe link
