The publishing house was renamed Verlag Gerd Hatje in 1947. His varied interests were reflected in his publishing program, where he concentrated on publishing art books of the highest quality. Among the books he published are some of the best designed art, design, and architecture books of the twentieth century. Hatje was always concerned with quality, both in books and art. He once said, "For me, there is neither a past nor a future in art. A work of art that cannot always exist in the present is not worth talking about." In his words, publishing is the process by which "intellectual spaces are made accessible."
