In my 24 years of knowing Gunther, who was from Austria, he was a thoughtful, easy-going, incredibly hard-working, unpretentious, good man. He worked six days a week for decades. It was always a pleasure to chat with him. I am proud to know about his three beautiful daughters, Marisol (a Yale graduate), Mia, Sarah and his loving wife, Julia. He kept true to his vision as an artist.
Somehow, throughout the years, Gunther always managed to be a steady, level-headed person, kind to others. I'm so sad he died younger than expected. My loving condolences to
his daughters, wife, fellow street vendors and friends.

I met Gunther in 1981 when I visited NYC for the first time, and bought one of his watercolors. It features two adorable androgynous figures and the title is "New York, the Hope and the Promise." It seemed prescient as I actually moved to New York in 1984. I later moved away but the painting has stayed with me and enjoys a prominent spot on my wall. I just now looked Gunther up and was saddened to see that he passed. My condolences to his family. I don't see a way to post a photo here...would if I could. If anyone would like to see it, contact me through this site with your email or phone# and I'll send a photo.
