Graphis 117 Vol. 21 Cover: Flavio Constantini; Article About Saul
Steinberg
Graphis Press Corp, 1965. Paperback. Clean & unmarked except for
previous owner's name on inside front cover.
This item is a very rare VG copy of Graphis, the International Journal
of Visual Communication, for everyone involved in graphic design and
visual culture.
9.25 x 11.75 magazine with 88 pages of b/w and color examples of
modern graphic design, circa 1965. Graphis was (and still is) one of
the most important and influential European graphic design
publication. Each issue always showcased the best graphic and applied
art, including advertising, typography, posters, printmaking,
illustrators, book arts, ethnic art, etc, with a focus on modern
European designers. Graphis is still being published, but the most
influential and groundbreaking years are from the 1940s to the
mid-1960s.
These periodicals are much harder to find than the well known Graphis
Annuals, which are essentially pictorial =93best of=94 collections and
lack the depth and text of the originals. These publications are also
more valuable as they are the original documents. Many of the articles
are written by important artists, critics and scholars.
Graphis was first published in 1944 by Walter Herdeg in Zurich,
Switzerland. In 1986, B. Martin Pedersen was given the opportunity to
purchase Graphis. He has since further developed the magazine and
books and relocated the headquarters to New York City. Graphis has
upheld its reputation as the premier publication covering graphic
communications worldwide and has been revered for its artistic
presentation, impeccable design, and exemplary production qualities.
Global in scope, Graphis is a compelling record of the most
significant and influential communication work being produced today
In visually driven articles, Graphis beautifully presents the best
work produced internationally in graphic design, advertising,
illustration, and photography.After issue #355, Graphis Magazine
ceased to exist in its old format. These older issues are destined to
become collector=92s items.
