book (design) story #177
wilhelm wartmann:
antoine pevsner, georges vantongerloo, max bill
kunsthaus zürich, 1949
printer: buchdruckerei neue zürcher zeitung, zürich
size: 21 x 15 cm
designer: max bill
a catalogue of a zurich exhibition with works by abstract artists antoine pevsner, georges vantongerloo and max bill.
max bill (1908-1994) also designed the catalogue. the cover and title page with their asymmetric arrangement pivoting around an axis defined by the space between the three artists' first and second names is typical for bill's style.
text pages are printed on a dark, rough paper while a white coated paper is used for photos of works – just like in this catalogue.
