biography
Werner Pfieter grew up in Zurich above the Stadelhof. There his father ran a film production company on Olgastrasse. Half of the six siblings took up artistic professions, the other entered the diplomatic service. One of his brothers is the Swiss presenter and cabaret artist Peter Pfändler , another the Zurich photographer Beat PfÄNDER.
After completing the arts and crafts school in Zurich and further training as a cameraman, he began as a press photographer at the UPI news agency and later at the Swiss Ringier Verlag , where he mainly worked for Schweizer Illustrierte . The purchase of the Munich Heering Verlag by Ringier, the takeover of the then still young title Drachenfliegermagazin (Drama) and the associated establishment of Ringier Deutschland GmbH brought the hang-glider and private pilot Pfleger to Munich in the mid-1970s , where he built up the hang-glider magazine as editor-in-chief until the mid-1990s.
At the end of the 1990s he moved to Motorpresse Stuttgart as the overall editorial director of the aerospace magazine. He then was the project manager for the introduction of Men's Health and then built up the Trade Mark Communication department responsible for customer magazines . Subsequently, he was responsible for the customer magazine o.tel.o magazine of the telecommunications provider of the same name , the membership magazine Einsatz der Deutschen Rettungsflugwacht and the magazine Typhoon of Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH .
art
As early as the mid-1980s he began to deal with sculpture through painting and found his artistic identity in the late 1990s: "Simplicity, sculptures, shaped by a certain cheerfulness", as Nina Martini reported in the specialist magazine Artinvestor . While searching for the essence of form, he found a fixed point in the Janas at the end of the 1990s - female bronze sculptures with two faces. Not Janus-headed, as one might suspect, but with two happy faces. "They have two faces so that they always look at you."
