Bianca Frei-Baldegger
Born in 1944.
Bianca Frei-Baldegger signs her works with this name, and the available documentation indicates that she was born in Altstätten (SG). After eleven years of professional activity as a Werbeleiterin, she has been mentioned as an independent artist since 1983. Her training spans the lengthy period from 1974 to 1991 and includes courses and further training undertaken at the schools of Gestaltung in Zürich and St. Gallen.
The materiality of colour occupies an explicitly stated place in her practice: she prepares her own hues using egg tempera (Eitempera) made from pigments.
Her professional profile gives Altwinget 24 (8524 Buch bei Frauenfeld) as her correspondence address and notes a studio at the VSP-Areal, Fabrikstrasse 17, 8505 Pfyn, together with telephone and email contact details. She complemented her career with study trips to the United States and Canada, as well as regular working stays in Italy and France. The source attests to her membership of the KunstThurgau association, an organisation to which several of her presentations are connected.
Her group exhibitions include presentations linked to KunstThurgau, from at least the gathering marking the association’s 75th anniversary in 2015 to the presentation entitled «Resonanz» at the Kartause Ittingen in 2025. Locally, she appears in the 2016 programme both in a group exhibition («Farbe Grün», Galerie Stefan Rutishauser, Frauenfeld, 20.05.2016) and on the occasion of a solo exhibition noted at Galerie zur alten Bank in Niederuzwil (05.03.2016), where painting and objects are mentioned. Directories and lists also provide references to institutional venues where her work has been shown or catalogued, citing, for example, the KSU Kunstsammlung Unterseen and the Museum Rosenegg / Kunst der Stadt Kreuzlingen.
The combination of the technical information—the production of Eitempera—and the exhibition categories (painting, objects) makes it possible to characterise her material practice without presuming a typology of work beyond the existing references. The archival materials consulted cover a documented period of at least 2015 to 2025, shedding light on the continuity of her public participation at a regional level.
