Metropolitan Museum of Art
To commemorate the historic monographic show of artist Paul Gauguin’s work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the museum published a book with the shows title Gauguin in New York Collections: The Lure of the Exotic. This collectors edition art book was housed in a paperboard slipcase wrapped in deep orange Brillianta. The cover features a debossed panel tipped with an offset printed image from the show of a seated nude, and a grey hot stamp identifying the show’s patron SUEZ, the energy corporation.
Vanishing Venice
Vanishing Venice is a small edition fine art photography book of poetic text and calligraphic illustrations by Carolyn Carlson, an American-born contemporary dancer, choreographer, poet and calligrapher. Carlson has distinguished herself as a dance figure in both Venice and Paris. Co-authored with Hal Eastman, this box set of Vanishing Venice also included 10 signed 12″ x 12″ fine art prints from the book.
Paolo Costalgi
This prime example of luxury product packaging was designed for jewelry designer Paolo Costagli for his gem-inspired limited edition glassware collection. This Tray in a Three Panel Cover style box is of wood construction, with a french panel for additional support and fit. The exterior is wrapped in Japanese silk with gold foil stamping on the lid, while the interior features a wood frame divided insert wrapped in white ultrasuede.
Chuck Close “Scribble Book”
Both the books and the box are covered with Cotlin, a natural sailcloth-type fabric made by Bamberger. The books are accordion bound with each set of prints being mounted on a strip of fabric over 9′ long. A Lipped Clamshell Box with basswood frame was chosen to house the books. This design opens flat at the spine, allowing easy access to the books while offering the option of viewing the prints without removing them from the confines of the box.
Ralph Steadman
This print portfolio was created to house a collection of limited edition Ralph Steadman prints entitled Dog Bodies. This traditional Overflap Folio is constructed of Eska board wrapped with Brillianta book cloth, a premium 100% natural fiber cover material from Ecological Fiber, Inc. The folio features a corresponding interior cover pocket of uncoated white paper, a foil stamp decoration, and a ribbon closure.
