Professor Hermann Dischler
25th September 1866 – 20th March 1935
Hermann Dischler was born on the 25th of September in 1866 in Freiburg i.Br. He received his artistic training in the art school in Karlsruhe, he was student of Gustav Schönleber. Thereafter he was engaged as a painter in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald area.
1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

«Wrapped Trees, Project for the Fondation Beyeler and Berower Park, Riehen, Switzerland». Collage, made from coloured chalk, oil chalk, opaque white, pencil, charcoal and enamel paint over colour photography by Wolfgang Volz, with topographic map, fabric sample and tape on cardboard, in an acrylic object frame. Signed lower right and dated 1998, as well as titled below. Verso signed and dated 1998 again, as well as with the artist's copyright symbol. Furthermore a label with the work's data.
The present work belongs to a series of similar unique creations, drawn up within the framework of a project set up by Ernst Beyeler in 1996/97. During the construction of the building for the Fondation Beyeler located inside the Berower Park in Riehen near Basel he remembered a never realised project by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, in which the trees along the Champs-Élysées in Paris should be wrapped. The park near Basel with his old stock of trees suited perfectly for the practical implementation of this idea, and in 1997 the artist couple travelled from New York to Basel for the first inspection of the area. First 80 trees have been selected on the base of their size as suitable for the artwork. They have been measured, numbered and transferred into a map, which can be seen in the collage. Later, even while work was proceeding, the number of trees has been increased up to 162 and finally up to 178 pieces due to aesthetic reasons. To be sure that each fabric cover would really fit the intended tree, paper scale models of all trees have been built and covered as a trial. On 12th of November 1998 the work with the real trees started, during which more than 55.000 square metres of woven polyester fabric have been used for wrapping.

Die hier präsentierte Arbeit reiht sich ein in eine Serie ähnlicher Unikate, entstanden im Rahmen eines Projektes, welches 1996/97 von Ernst Beyeler ins Leben gerufen wurde. Während der Errichtung des Gebäudes der Fondation Beyeler im Berower Park in Riehen bei Basel erinnerte er sich an ein nicht realisiertes Projekt von Christo und Jeanne-Claude, bei welchem die Bäume der Champs-Élysées in Paris verhüllt werden sollten. Der Park nahe Basel eignete sich mit seinem alten Baumbestand bestens für die Umsetzung dieser Idee, und so reiste das Künstlerpaar 1997 erstmals für eine Begehung des Areals von New York nach Basel. Insgesamt 80 Bäume wurden vorerst aufgrund ihrer Größe als geeignet für das Kunstwerk bewertet, vermessen, nummeriert und exakt in eine Landkarte des Gebietes übertragen. Später wurde die Anzahl der Bäume aus ästhetischen Gründen auf 162 und im weiteren Verlauf der Arbeiten auf die endgültige Anzahl von 178 erhöht. Um zu gewährleisten, dass jede Hülle perfekt zum dazu vorgesehenen Baum passt, wurden maßstabsgetreue Modelle der einzelnen Bäume angefertigt und zur Probe verhüllt. Am 12. November 1998 begannen die Arbeiten an den realen Bäumen, bei denen insgesamt 55.000 m² graues Polyestergewebe verwendet wurden.
