book (design) story #410

hans bolliger:
dokumentations-bibliothek / auktion 86

klipstein & kornfeld, bern, 1957
size: ?? x ?? cm
designer: hans bolliger

this is the first catalogue edited by hans bolliger (1915-2002) for berne-based auctioneers klipstein & kornfeld.

swiss antiquarian hans bolliger was a major expert in 20th century art and book design, and his "dokumentation library" is still a must-have reference for collectors and dealers.

this 1957 booklet introduced a fresh, modern design to the book/auction catalogue genre – all sans-serif, unmistakably "swiss"!
