"Kunstkredit exhibition" (credit found for Art acquisition). Every year the museums of the city of Basel present the new Art acquisitions of the year and ask Wolfgang Weingart to design the poster. From 1968 he was teaching Typography in the basel' Art and Craft school (Schule für Gestaltung) and he creates his own graphic expression in posters and magazine.
This illustration of Weingart granted the Swiss Poster Award in 1977. The meticulous pictorial and textual layout of this poster reveals Weingart’s eccentric and non- conformist approach to typography. The synthesis of this abstract and chaotic collage summarizes his eager for experimental designs that question the visual standards and laws.
