Sad news
"HR Giger died on Monday afternoon at the hospital from injuries he had sustained in a fall. Learned this SRF News Online from the environment of the family. HR Giger lived and worked in Zurich-Seebach.
Born HR Giger 1940 in Chur. In 1962, he moved to Zurich, where he studied architecture and industrial design. Even at this time Giger was an artist. After graduating in 1996 Giger worked as a designer and interior designer, but quickly turned exclusively to art.
Films like "Alien" by Ridley Scott (1979) and "Species" by Roger Donaldson (1995) coined HR Giger with his distinctive style. 1980 HR Giger won an Oscar in the category "Best Visual Effects" for "Alien".
Gained international recognition with his often dark Giger sculptures, but also with his paintings and not least furniture. Numerous retrospectives devoted in recent years to the overall work of the artist."
