Benteli

BENTELI Publishers is a Swiss publisher with a history of more than a hundred years, known for publishing catalogues of international art exhibitions, artist's monographs, work catalogues, and publications in photography and art history. It is part of Braun Publishing AG.

Alfred Benteli, the great-grandfather of the present managing director Till Schaap, founded the printing company Benteli in Bümpliz near Berne on February 21, 1899. In 1902 the printing company was enlarged by the foundation of a publisher. BENTELI Publishers was created, publishing political books and documents of Switzerland at first. Under the management of Alfred Benteli's son-in-law, Dr. Hans Meyer-Benteli, the publisher focused more and more on the publication of art books in the Forties and Fifties. In 1962 Eduard Schaap, after marrying Meret Meyer-Benteli, took over the management of publisher and printer. The cartoonist and artist – later internationally renowned under his alias Ted Scapa – broadened the program significantly. Humorous and cookery books especially as well as fiction were published. The edition of comprehensive catalogues for important international art exhibitions made the publisher internationally known.
