Alliance Graphique Internationale

Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) is a club of the world's leading graphic artists and designers. There are 510 members from 46 countries. Its members have been collectively responsible for the identity design of most of the world's top corporations and institutions as well as for countless examples of globally known packaging, publications, illustration and posters. Bernard Baissait is the only member who left the AGI following disagreement.[1]

History

In 1951 two Swiss and three French graphic artists decided to formalise their relationship into a kind of association. In 1952 the Alliance Graphique Internationale was incorporated in Paris with 65 members. The first AGI show was in Paris in 1955. In 1969 the AGI headquarters moved to Zürich.[2]

The organization's most important events are the annual AGI Congress and AGI Open which take place in a different country each year.[3]

Today, the AGI is a professional gathering, currently spanning seven decades and consisting of 512 creative professionals from 45 countries.
