Dieter Meier (born 4 March 1945, Zürich) is a Swiss musician and conceptual artist who is best known for being the front man in the electronic music group Yello, which also includes music producer Boris Blank. He is a vocalist and lyricist, as well as manager and producer of this music group.
Born to a millionaire family, Meier is not only a performance artist, but a millionaire industrialist[citation needed], a professional poker player[citation needed], and also one time member of the Swiss national golf team[citation needed]. He is the father of four children: Eleonore Meier, Sophie Meier, Anna Meier and Francis Meier. Dieter Meier now lives in Zurich with his wife Monique Meier.
As a conceptual artist, he has been keeping himself busy with many art exhibitions. In 1972 as part of Documenta 5, Meier installed a commemorative plaque at the railway station in Kassel (Germany) which read: "On 23 March 1994, from 3 to 4 pm, Dieter Meier will stand on this plaque". He honored the promise 22 years later.
