Life
Growing up in Aidenried , where her mother ran an arts and crafts business, she studied sculpture at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts with Anton Hiller from 1956 to 1959 .
She was a member of the Situationist International . Together with Erwin Eisch (whom she married in 1962) and Max Strack, she founded the artist group RADAMA in the early 1960s , a spin-off from the group SPUR , which caused a sensation in Munich- Schwabing . The 1961 Schwabing exhibition about the fictional artist “Bolus Krim” caused a particular sensation.
After her marriage to Erwin Eisch, she followed him to Frauenau and increasingly turned to glass painting and design. She became one of the creative forces behind the international studio glass movement , which has its European center in Frauenau, and was actively involved in founding the Frauenau Glass Museum in 1975 . From 1977 to 1981 Gretel Eisch worked with Bob Strini and Peter Kobbe with children and young people in the ceramic project Lehm und Lehm Lassen ; later she headed the glass painting workshop poetry in glass at the Eisch glassworks. In 1987 she co-founded Bild-Werk Frauenau , an international artist training facility with a focus on glass, where she still teaches today. At the beginning of the 1990s she turned back to wood carving as well as wood cutting.
