Catalog accompanying an exhibition held at the Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography in the Cooper Union School of Art from February 24 to April 5, 2003. Widmer (1929-2026) was a Swiss Bauhaus-trained graphic designer (he studied with Johannes Itten) influenced by American art directors Alexey Brodovitch and Herb Lubalin. His exacting but expressive oeuvre included projects for the Pompidou Centre—book designs, posters for exhibitions and, famously, the logo. 8vo (6.5” x 9.5”), embossed fold-over wrappers, 96 pages, color and b/w illustrations throughout. text in English. With an introduction by Philippe Apeloig, an overview of postwar French graphic design by Margo Rouard-Snowman, and an interview with Jean Widmer by Apeloig. Surprisingly uncommon. Minor bumping and light rubbing to extremities; otherwise near fine.
