Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)“The Swiss Poster” was a travelling exhibition organized by Pro Helvetia. The exhibition comprised of 126 posters by Swiss graphic designers plus 16 informative panels. This composition toured through Europe, the USA and South America from 1950-1952. From a Swiss perspective, the cultural diplomatic manifestation was evaluated as such a success that the exhibition generated numerous follow-up projects. Besides taking the already established route over the following years these travelled also off the beaten tracks as to South Africa and the Middle East. This presentation focuses on the destinations of the poster exhibition in developing countries. How did the exhibition present Switzerland? What were the aims of the exhibition? And what image of Swiss graphic design does the exhibition convey?
