Max Bill, Maler, Bildhauer, Architekt, Designer

Catalogue

For us, 70 years after his typographical main works, designing a Bill catalog doesn’t mean imitating Bill’s design concept, but translating it into a contemporary form. For the differentiation between text pages and picture pages we chose different types of paper, and within the layout we developed a clear, strongly structured typography. The “width” of Bill’s work as painter, designer, sculptor and architect is expressed in large-sized lines of writing that, in the book introduction, run off the page format and are cited in the individual chapters as introductions or closings.
