From the 1920s to the 1960s, Rene Hubert (1895-1976) belonged to the creme de la creme of costume designers. He designed costumes for stars such as Tallulah Bankhead, Ingrid Bergman, Marlon Brando, Yul Brynner, Marlene Dietrich, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, and Marilyn Monroe in one of her first roles. Shirley Temple danced the hula in the film Curly Top wearing a grass skirt ensemble designed by Hubert; he was especially closely associated with Gloria Swanson, who encouraged him to relocate to Los Angeles when she met him in Paris in 1924. Hubert consented, and soon found himself working with directors Rene Clair, Alfred Hitchcock and Otto Preminger, elevating their stars with his flair for opulent color and elegant lines. Hubert's international reputation helped him to win commissions in his native Switzerland, most notably for the Swiss National Exhibition in 1939, for Swissair uniforms and aircraft interiors, and for various theaters and textile companies. This richly illustrated publication compiles sketches, costume photography, stage photos and film stills of Hubert's work. Experts from both sides of the Atlantic reflect on his multifaceted oeuvre at his numerous workplaces in Switzerland, Europe and the US. Excerpts from his unpublished memoirs provide a personal view of his life and the glamor of the era.

Das Atelier der J.R. Geigy AG war Ausgangspunkt einer Sternstunde der Schweizer Grafik der 50er- und 60er-Jahre. Die aufgeschlossene Unternehmenskultur des Basler Chemiekonzerns ermAglichte eine exemplarische Verbindung von Produkt- und Firmenwerbung. Die Werke zeigen eine modernistische Formensprache, ohne dabei einem formelhaften Stil verpflichtet zu sein. Eine bildhafte Symbolik hatte darin ebenso ihren Platz wie das Lernen von der ungegenstAndlichen Kunst, der manche der beteiligten Grafiker nahe standen. Unter der langjAhrigen Leitung von Max Schmid arbeiteten u. a. Roland Aeschlimann, Karl Gerstner, JArg Hamburger, Steff GeissbA1/4hler, Andreas His, Toshihiro Katayama und Nelly Rudin. Auch freischaffende Gestalter wie Michael Engelmann, Gottfried Honegger, Armin Hofmann, Herbert Leupin, Warja Lavater, Numa Rick und Niklaus Stoecklin wurden beauftragt. In den 60er-Jahren orientierte sich das Basler Atelier, insbesondere George Giusti und Fred Troller, an der Entwicklung der Ateliers der Tochterfirmen in den USA und Grossbritannien und setzte vermehrt auf Werbung. Mit dem Geigy Design wird ein bedeutender Schweizer Beitrag zur internationalen Designgeschichte in seiner Konsequenz und EigenstAndigkeit erstmals umfassend vorgestellt.
