Summary:
Created in his off-hours on the weekend and in part inspired by the modern artists of his day, Jack Stauffacher’s exquisite prints demonstrate what wood type can do when released from its role in traditional communication and instead used to explore letters as pure form. In the resulting abstract, dynamically composed, often lushly layered prints, Stauffacher reclaims(...)

Summary:
Created in his off-hours on the weekend and in part inspired by the modern artists of his day, Jack Stauffacher’s exquisite prints demonstrate what wood type can do when released from its role in traditional communication and instead used to explore letters as pure form. In the resulting abstract, dynamically composed, often lushly layered prints, Stauffacher reclaims typography as a subject fit for the gallery wall. Featuring 500 images (most of which have never appeared in a publication before) and essays by collaborators from the worlds of art and typography, ''Only on Saturday'' is the first trade book to document the work of one of the past century’s great typographers and printers—and offer the compelling backstory behind its creation.

Summary:
''Ode to construction : Abstraction in the digital age'' explores the inersections of graphic design and art through the means of generative code, gesturing playfully and melancholically towards the foundational legacies of the Supremacist and Constructivist movements of the early 20th century. At once a book, website, and exhibition, ''Ode to construction'' demonstrates the fluidity of design's materializations within the conditions of the digital, moving effortlessly between screen, print, and space. By reanimating the formal strategies of modernist abstraction, graphic designer Polina Joffe probes the technical and social registers of design today.

The volume presents itself as a ‘meta-book’, that is a collection of Ettore Spalletti’s production concerning books, intended as works, artist’s books, editions and catalogues.

Summary:
The volume presents itself as a ‘meta-book’, that is a collection of Ettore Spalletti’s production concerning books, intended as works, artist’s books, editions and catalogues. ''Artist’s books often do not get the same attention artists’ other works receive. And there are even fewer books on artist’s books. I believe it is of crucial importance that books as an artist’s medium are presented alongside their other works. The passion and precision with which Spalletti has worked on his books throughout his trajectory presents a wonderful example of their importance in an artist’s oeuvre.'' - from the preface by Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Summary:
Otto Neurath’s famous "Modern man in the making," first published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1939, captures and describes the state of the world in the 1930s by using text and figurative illustrations. From 1925 on, Neurath and his team had worked on a new visual language termed "Isotype" (International System of Typographic Picture Education). At a time that saw new mass media making hitherto unthinkable amounts of information available, Neurath felt the need for a systematic visualization explaining facts, statistical data and comparative numbers in simple ways. The book can be seen as one of the most influential predecessors of today’s infographics. In the visuals, each symbol and color represents a certain group of objects or people, often compared repetitively over a certain time span. The topics covered in the book include diverse social issues of the time like mortality, health, employment, trade, education, mobility, migration and demographics. "Modern man in the making" shows Neurath’s democratic endeavor to make knowledge intelligible and available to all. It is a reminder of graphic art’s ability to inform and create context instead of presenting aesthetic qualities only. The book has inspired generations of designers and has led to sometimes peculiar imitations and further developments.
