Hans Aeschbacher (18 January 1906 – 27 January 1980) was a Swiss abstract sculptor.[1]

Personal life

Aeschbacher was born in Zurich.

Career

Though originally trained as a printer, he taught himself to draw and paint. At the age of about 30 years old, he began to sculpt.

His early works were predominantly terra-cotta and plaster, but by 1945, he was sculpting almost exclusively with stone. His earlier sculptures were very abstract and geometrical, and also quite large in size. In the mid-1950s, Aeschbacher began using mostly volcanic rock as a medium, and his sculptures became more fluid and smaller. By the late 1950s, his sculptures again became angular and large, with pieces as large as 15 feet (4.6 m) tall.[1]

His work Explorer I is located at the Zurich Airport.[1]

Death and legacy

Aeschbacher died in Zurich on 27 January 1980.[1]
