Karlheinz Weinberger

For most of his adult life, Karlheinz Weinberger (1921-2006) worked in the warehouse department of the Siemens factory in Zurich, Switzerland. On the weekends, he escaped his job’s monotony by immersing himself in photography. Self-taught, Weinberger rarely exhibited his photographs until his “discovery” during the final years of his life. Since then, his work has been the focus of exhibitions in Europe and the United States.
