Description

During his discreet yet exceptional career, Gérard Ifert was a graphic designer, scenographer, furniture maker, and photographer: in short, he was a designer. Encouraged by his training at the Basel School of Arts and Crafts in the late 1940s, then by his integration into the multi-disciplinary team of the Marshall Plan exhibitions in Paris in the early 1950s, he spent his life defending a multifaceted and collaborative approach to his profession.
