Edwin Vogt Partner AG was a Swiss screen printing studio based in Waldenburg, active from 1968 to 2016. The company operated as an “Atelier für Siebdruck” (screen printing studio) and produced posters and printed materials for clients including the Gewerbemuseum Basel, cultural institutions, and political organizations throughout the 1970s and 1980s.[1]
Design and History
Edwin Vogt began working with screen printing in 1965 as a self-taught practitioner using the simplest means. He initially printed serigraphs for artists such as Carl Aloë and Hermanus van der Meijden, and from 1969 onward for Hugo Schuhmacher and Hansruedi Giger.[2] The company Edwin Vogt Partner AG was established in Waldenburg in 1968.[3]
The graphic designer Armin Vogt, born in 1938, was closely associated with the studio. He designed posters that the company printed, including a 1986 self-promotional poster titled “Wir bedrucken” (“We print”), which advertised the studio’s services.[4] Armin Vogt also operated his own design practice, Armin Vogt Partner, in Basel, which collaborated with the Waldenburg printing firm on various projects.[5]
The company was dissolved by shareholder resolution on September 26, 2002, and entered liquidation.[6] A subsequent sole proprietorship, Edwin Vogt Siebdruck / Beschriftungen, also in Waldenburg, was later closed due to business cessation.[7]
