GRAPHIS 73

The Le Corbusier issue

Walter Herdeg (Editor): GRAPHIS 73. Zurich: Graphis Press 1957. Volume 13, No. 73, 1957. Original edition. A near-fine original magazine. Cover design by Le Corbusier.

9.25 x 11.75 magazine with 90 pages of b/w and color examples of modern graphic design, circa 1957. Text in in English, French and German.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 early 1960s.

Excellent original edition of Graphis with a very strong editorial content:

• Le Corbusier by Dr. Hans Curjel: 16 pages and 47 color and b/w images of artwork, sculpture and architecture.
• Polish Posters
• Bruno Caruso
• Record Cover Design
• International language of the trade mark
• International design Conference, Aspen
• and much more.

These periodicals are much harder to find than the well known Graphis Annuals, which are essentially pictorial "best of" 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.
