In the 1950s, a large number of internationally renowned artists created pictures made of ceramic. In 1956, in close collaboration with the artist and ceramicist Richard Bampi, Julius Bissier developed a ceramic work for the University of Freiburg.

The abstract composition on a wall in the city centre measures over 19.5 metres long by 2.6 metres high (64 x 8.5 feet). Its restoration and relaunch is occasion to examine more closely the story of its genesis. The distinctiveness of the artwork becomes clear against a backdrop of the cultural politics oriented on France in Freiburg after 1945. Unexpected parallels in contemporaneous ceramic murals by Fernand Leger, Joan Miro, and Victor Vasarely are revealed and make the Freiburg ceramic picture a unique work in the post-war art of Germany. Text in German.
