Horst Münch wanted to become a painter at the age of five. In 1966 he started taking pictures and made Super 8 and 16 mm films.

After his sudden death, there was a collaboration with Rolf Ricke in Cologne and from 1983 also with Hans Strelow in Düsseldorf, who was in charge of the painting. From 1986 Philippe Casini showed his work in Paris. In 1983, Münch was awarded the Jürgen Ponto Foundation's sponsorship prize, and in 2003 the Käthe Kollwitz Prize of the Academy of Arts (Berlin) .
