Born in Basel, Switzerland, Burckhardt settled in New York City in 1935. Throughout his long career, the prolific and multitalented artist worked in various media in addition to photography and film, but kept a distance from art world trends and movements, steadfastly pursuing his own vision. This exhibition catalogue features a selection of Burckhardt’s remarkable Manhattan cityscapes as well as a number of paintings, collages, and portraits, and includes a biography and filmography.
