Printed portfolio (8.5” × 9.5”) containing eleven original folded graphic works by leading members of AGI Italia—Mimmo Castellano, Bob Noorda, Franco Grignani, Italo Lupi, Pierluigi Cerri, Roberto Sambonet, Heinz Waibl, Franco Bassi, Walter Ballmer, Giulio Cittato, and Egidio Bonfante—issued for the 1986 Alliance Graphique Internationale Congress in Amsterdam as a tribute to Dutch graphic design. Complete with the original translucent onionskin bifolium printed with the flags of Italy and the Netherlands and an original signed intaglio print, numbered 34/150 in pencil. Housed in the original printed portfolio with striking modular typographic cover design apparently by Bruno Monguzzi.
A remarkable collaborative production documenting a pivotal moment in postwar European graphic design, bringing together many of Italy's most influential designers in a limited-edition portfolio produced for AGI's Amsterdam congress. The individual contributions employ a wide range of formats, paper stocks, folds, die-cutting, and conceptual interventions, reflecting the experimental graphic language of the 1980s. Institutional survival appears exceptionally limited, with OCLC locating only a single holding.
Light rubbing and scattered offsetting to the portfolio as issued; contents bright, clean, and complete. A scarce and visually arresting AGI production..
