About
Baumberger was born in Altstetten, Zurich, Switzerland. He is considered the first bona-fide Swiss poster designer. Baumberger was employed by the Wolfensberger AG in Zürich, where he developed a sound knowledge of lithographic techniques, and worked continuously to advance that medium. During the four decades of his career, he designed over 200 posters. Baumberger had a knack for recognizing the successful qualities of consumer advertising by appropriating the styles of other artists. The evolution of his work reflects the most successful imagery in a given period. His portfolio represents nearly half a century of Swiss commercial graphic design. Ultimately, Baumberger never received the artistic recognition he sought in during his career. He died in Weiningen, Switzerland. Contact
