Summary:
For more than five decades, Dan Graham has been a force in the world of conceptual art, creating works that surprise, unsettle, and stretch the boundaries of what people expect when they set out to view art. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment is Pavilions, a series of walk-through glass installations that place architectural elements in space, thereby altering a viewer’s perception of his or her surroundings. The resulting estrangement is bracing, enabling viewers to rediscover and re-experience the very concept of spatial dimension itself. Buildings and Signs. 1978 Models celebrates Graham’s pavilions through numerous images accompanied by the artist’s commentaries exploring their place in his oeuvre and the various conceptual and artistic breakthroughs they represent.

Summary:
Now in its fourth iteration, revised and dramatically expanded with over 100 new pages, Julian Rothenstein's classic compendium, « A2Z » remains the ultimate source for unusual, inventive fonts not found anywhere else: the "Tippler" alphabet created from an elegant, drunk man's meanderings, one based on ink spots, and another derived from an avant-garde Czech ballet. Eye test charts assert their modernist merit, and a Russian graphic simplifies the connection between agriculture and industry in elegant Constructivist type. Culled from books, advertisements, packaging, posters, and technical manuals from around the world, this off-beat collection is the perfect inspiration for designers, history buffs and anyone else interested in remarkable typefaces, symbols, and patterns.
