Description“When I saw this cover by Max Schmid on "Die neue Graphik" I was nineteen years old, and I have never forgotten that big eye staring at me, containing the reflection of the universe of a chemist.
Therese Moll worked directly with Karl Gerstner for three years, and then in Schmid’s group at Geigy in 1957. Well aware that a whole world exists inside that test tube and that historic logo, they allow us to guess.“
