here we have another exhibition catalogue by armin hofmann (*1920) for the kunsthalle basel. it's interesting to compare it to book 313 which is very similar but not quite: the artist's names "rené" and "auberjonois" are set ranged-right, "kunsthalle" is aligned left with the latter, taking "basel" flush-right with it.

the introductory text is initialled by kunsthalle director arnold rüdlinger (1919-1967).

below a self portrait of swiss artist rené auberjonois (1872–1957) who was shown.
