Book Design: Irma Boom
Irma Boom has become one of the most widely renowned and laureated book designers in the world today. Her often ingenious solutions to individual book productions have gained her international fame and her work is now collected by many leading museums such as the MoMa in New York. Besides book designs she also creates corporate identities, postage stamps and posters. The Special Collections of the University of Amsterdam Library honoured Irma Boom with a major retrospective exhibition of her work, now traveling to Paris. To accompany this exhibition she produced an exceptional catalogue; this miniature book contains a complete overview of her work, now re-printed in a slightly bigger version and with more pages.
現代のオランダを代表するIrma Boomのモノグラフです。5.5 x 4.5 x 3 cmのミニチュアサイズで一見してコンセプチュアルでポップな印象がありますが、Irma Boomは本をデザインするときに必ず手作りでこうしたミニチュアサンプルを作ることから自身の作品集もあえてミニチュアとしています。
小さなサイズですが、内容はしっかりしていてブックデザイン作品から珍しい美術館のVI作品のコンセプトからイメージまで幅広くまとめてあります。
