A recent publication from Gagosian on Richard Avedon, designed by Graphic Thought Facility is a masterclass in no-holds-barred book design. View our flick-through film to experience this pricey gem.
From the clear acetate cover with its type seductively screening the cover image, to glorious large-format, full-bleed, loose-leaf pages and delicious coloured paper stock changes — this book is a visceral experience that pulls out all the stops in terms of print processes.
It's a fitting tribute to the work of twentieth century photographic master Richard Avedon's images of women, from portraiture, to fashion shoots to documentary. In the spotlight, centre stage, are the photographs themselves, given oceans of space and beautifully curated with a sensitive use of pacing and positioning.
