Sigurd Wendland

Sigurd Wendland is a renowned 77-year-old Berlin-based artist celebrated for his provocative oil paintings that often feature nudes. His recent exhibition at the Letzigraben swimming pool in Zurich has sparked controversy due to a specific painting titled 'Hide away,' which the city deemed inappropriate for a public space accessible to children. Wendland views the city's decision to obscure the painting behind a translucent film as censorship and an affront to artistic expression.
