- Picasso Vollard: Prints from the Stock of the Artist’s Publisher exhibition catalogue, cover spread featuring Pablo Picasso's Femmes Se Reposant
- Design by Alex Stevovich. Artwork by Pablo Picasso
I designed the exhibition catalogue for Picasso / Vollard: Prints from the Stock of the Artist's Publisher, produced by Marc Rosen Fine Art in conjunction with the exhibition presented at Adelson Galleries, on view October 6 through November 14, 2015. The catalogue runs 136 pages and opens with a short essay followed by a complete plate section presenting all works in the exhibition.
The exhibition presented prints by Pablo Picasso from the stock of Ambroise Vollard — Picasso's publisher and dealer, and one of the most significant figures in the early 20th century art market. The prints from Vollard's stock represent some of the most historically important works in Picasso's printed oeuvre. The publication was also adapted to a digital edition for online display and distribution.
Scope of Work
- Visual identity development for the publication.
- Concept development and design direction.
- Layout design and typography across 136 pages.
- Image preparation for print and digital use.
- Digital edition adaptation for online display and distribution.
- Coordination with the printer through production.
Visual Identity
The visual identity for this catalogue was developed as part of the larger exhibition project. I was responsible for the complete design language of the exhibition — typographic system, color, graphic approach — and this extended fully into the catalogue, creating continuity across all materials produced for Picasso / Vollard: Prints from the Stock of the Artist's Publisher.
Design Overview
The catalogue was designed as a plate-driven publication presenting Picasso's prints in a format appropriate to the historical significance of the works, with a typographic and layout language supporting both the introductory essay and sustained image presentation across 136 pages.
