in 1956 the schweizerische kunstverein, an umbrella organisation of local swiss art societies, organized a nationwide exhibtion of swiss artists. it took place at the mustermesse basel exhibition centre.
the catalogue cover is credited to #emilruder (1914-1970). the almost “abstract” design based on letter forms (5, 6, k) and their surrounding space are typical for ruder’s style.
the title typeface is akzidenz-grotesk with mono-grotesk for main texts.
the president of the jury, werner bär (1899-1960), a banker and art collector, contributed the foreword.
almost 900 artworks by hundreds of artists were exhibited. only a few were reproduced, like this painting by theo eble.
