book (design) story #391
rené wehrli:
begründer der modernen plastik
kunsthaus zürich, 1954
printer: buchdruckerei der neuen zürcher zeitung, zürich
size: 24 x 17 cm
designer: (unknown)

again no designer credited for this very "zürich style" catalogue of a 1954 modern sculpture exhibition with works by arp, brancusi, and others. only the title is lowercase.

kunsthaus director rené wehrli (1910-2005) wrote the foreword.

a black square introduces the catalogue part, ...

... and after a white square on black ...

... the illustrations, starting with a sculpture by arp. some of the the ads are very "swiss style", too.
