Walter Wegmuller – Tarot

Description

Double vinyl LP pressing housed in gatefold jacket. Remastered by Dieter Dierks and Dennis Flchter. Walter Wegmller (1937-2020) was a Swiss-Jenish artist who grew up in difficult circumstances in Bern. After training in Basel, Bern, Paris, and London, he began his artistic career. In addition to painting and sculptural works, Walter Wegmller occupied himself with the entire spectrum of art. He gained widespread international attention, especially from 1974 onwards, with the publication of his Zigeuner Tarot. He was successful at countless exhibitions in Europe and overseas and was repeatedly awarded prizes and distinctions. However, he never forgot his origins as a Verding child and “Rome child from the Kalderasch tribe.” In 1973, he released the album Tarot with an all-star band. Successful musicians such as Klaus Schulze, Manuel Gttsching, Harald Grosskopf, Dieter Dierks, Hartmut Enke, Jrgen Dollase, and Walter Westrupp played in the band. It remained Walter Wegmller’s only foray into the world of music.
