Edition Axel Menges Gunter Rambow Posters: Plakate / Posters
Book SynopsisText in English and German. Gunter Rambow (b.1938) is one of the most prominent designers in the area of visual communication and cultural advertising. He produced numerous photo books and outstanding posters at the Rambow & Lienemeyer graphic design studio (1961-86), and is now carrying on his work at the Rambow, van de Sand studio. Particularly with his posters for the Schauspiel Frankfurt under the direction of Peter Palitzsch, Rambow succeeded in creating symbols for theatre's claim to political involvement and effectively introducing them into the urban environment. From 1974 to 2003 Gunter Rambow taught at the Universität Kassel and the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe as a professor of visual communication. In 2007, the Museum für Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt is following the example of the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, the Shanghai Art Museum and many other institutions and dedicating a major solo exhibition to his work. The show is an encounter between more than one hundred posters by Gunter Rambow -- dating from 1962 to the present -- and Richard Meier's museum architecture. The publication appearing in conjunction with this exhibition documents the dialogue between Rambow's poster art and Meier's museum building. Authors Eva Linhart, Anita Kühnel and Volker Fischer acquaint readers with Rambow's poster oeuvre -- far beyond the limited number on exhibit -- and his aesthetic strategies. Not only is light shed on the latter from the art-historical perspective, but a sense is conveyed of Rambow's innovative achievement in using the medium of the poster to create unmistakable corporate designs for a spectrum of widely differing institutions. The catalogue moreover provides an analytical appraisal of Rambow's ability to trigger insights about the environment and human relationships in those who view his posters.

Kerber Verlag Christian Jankowski, John Bock, Olaf Nicolai,
Book SynopsisThe Schaubühne Berlin is one of the foremost German-language theatres and has a unique artistic profile. Between 2018 and 2022, renowned artists Christian Jankowski, John Bock, Olaf Nicolai, Katharina Sieverding, and Monica Bonvicini designed a series of posters for the theatre. The outcome: striking two-dimensional artworks that, when inserted into Berlin’s cityscape, created a kind of temporary urban exhibition. The array of artistic executions in the poster campaigns ranges from humorously grotesque scenes or fanciful tableaux featuring members of the ensemble to purely conceptual approaches devoid of any text or imagery, to posters that use round cut-outs to capitalise on their ever-changing impact in the urban space. This publication brings together for the first time all of the designs alongside accompanying texts and interviews. Authors: John Bock, Monica Bonvicini, Thomas Irmer, Christian Jankowski, Thomas Ostermeier, Antonia Ruder, Katharina Sieverding, Christian Tschirner Text in English and German.

Hirmer Verlag Set in Stone: Lithography in Paris, 1815-1900
Book SynopsisIn the early 19th century, artists and printers embraced the new medium of lithography, an innovative method to mass - produce and distribute images. Known for its collection of French prints and posters, the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University has rich holdings of lithographs made over the course of the 1800s, including examples from lithography’s early years in Paris to iconic color posters from the 1890s. Invented around 1796, lithography introduced a new proc ess and new opportunities for the creation and circulation of printed images. Artists, printers, and publishers embraced the new medium for its relative ease and economic advantages as compared with the established printmaking media of woodcut, engraving, and etching. Taking root in Paris around 1815 after the fall of Napoleon’s empire, the art and industry of lithography grew in tandem with the city as it became Europe’s artistic and urban capital over the course of the nineteenth century. Lithographs play ed a distinct role in both documenting and advancing (and often satirizing) the various and competing art movements of the period as publishers responded to the unprecedented demand for printed images of all types.Trade Review“Set in Stone: Lithography in Paris, 1815-1900 provides a comprehensive examination of multiple aspects of lithography’s development and impact, both artistically and commercially speaking, in its epicenter. . . . A welcome addition to the literature on lithography, generally speaking, and a particularly good resource for gaining an understanding of the medium’s localized context.” * ARLIS/NA *Table of ContentsForeword and Acknowledgements Introduction Lithography: A New Medium and Process L’industrie et l’art: Lithography’s Ascent in Paris 1815-1830 Actualités: Novelty, Reproduction, and Proliferation 1830-1870 L’Estampe et l’affiche: Lithography’s Renaissance 1870-1900 Plates Notes Selected Bibliography Catalogue of the Exhibition Index

Hirmer Verlag Power to Imagination: Artists, Posters and
Book SynopsisPosters from the late 19th century to Robert Indiana's poster designs for Barack Obama tell the story of protest. Contemporary events seen through the eyes of 20th century artists show a passion for freedom and human rights and demand equality and tolerance. L'imagination au pouvoir was a slogan devised by artist Pierre Aléchinsky during the May 1968 student riots in Paris. The particular appeal of political posters for avant-garde artists comes from their dual inspiration of utopian ideals and Jive history. The postwar period, when Picasso's unassuming dove image was commandeered by the Communist peace movement, was succeeded by the general wilful resistance of the younger generation in the 1960s. In 1968, many supported the students' demands and produced political posters. In the 1970s, the focus turned to freedom for minorities, and this was followed not much later by environmental pollution a great concern of artists such as Joseph Beuys. In the mid-80s, the AIDS scare turned eyes on to discrimination and social marginalisation; and the concept of equality resurfaced, especially in the work of American artists such as Keith Haring and Jenny Holtzer. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, followed by globalization, was reflected in posters by Robert Rauschenberg and others. This story of international protest movements, narrated through vivid designs by the great artists of our day, is also a story of the art of the period a selective view, perhaps, but nonetheless an expression of astonishing continuity and authenticity. In addition the publication includes among others works by Andy Warhol, Jasper Jons, Antoni Tàpies, Joan Miró and Roy Lichtenstein.

MIT Press The Infographic A History of Data Graphics in
Book SynopsisAn exploration of infographics and data visualization as a cultural phenomenon, from eighteenth-century print culture to today's data journalism.Infographics and data visualization are ubiquitous in our everyday media diet, particularly in news—in print newspapers, on television news, and online. It has been argued that infographics are changing what it means to be literate in the twenty-first century—and even that they harmonize uniquely with human cognition. In this first serious exploration of the subject, Murray Dick traces the cultural evolution of the infographic, examining its use in news—and resistance to its use—from eighteenth-century print culture to today's data journalism. He identifies six historical phases of infographics in popular culture: the proto-infographic, the classical, the improving, the commercial, the ideological, and the professional.Dick describes the emergence of infographic forms within a wider history of journalis
