1973
Friedrich Kuhn – in H.R.G.’s estimation,
one of Switzerland’s greatest artists,
dies. He was a frequent guest at Li and Eveline’s
in 1969/70 and usually spent the night sleeping
at the kitchen table. H.R.G. and Kuhn were
bound by a deep friendship and mutual admiration.
To the Zurich art world, Kuhn was a master
of the art of living. Using an airbrush to
overpaint a series of photos taken of Kuhn
shortly before his death, showing the Magus
sitting on his favorite sofa, H.R.G. creates
the painting Hommage to Friedrich. |

with Claude Sandoz and Walter Wegmüller,
creates Tagtraum (Daydream), a series of
four paintings.
