Vitamin D

June 09, 2007, 5:02 PM

Vitamin D: New Perspectives in Drawing is a wonderful survey of a medium whose relevance in the broader context of contemporary art has finally been established. Over a hundred international artists working in a variety of styles and mediums are profiled here with little fluff and plenty of full-size (the book is 11.6" x 10.2") color images. My personal stand-outs include William Kentridge, Raymond Pettibon, Ellen Gallagher, Simon Evans and Tacita Dean. Any surprise that they all incorporate words into their work?

Cult of the Goat

Bock Beer Labels and a Homonym Gone Awry

45rpm Record Label Designs

Feast your eyes on this assortment of about one hundred labels and logos dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. I've been collecting these for a long time and thought I would share some of my favorites.
