Graphic Design : History in the Writing

The first anthology of its kind, Graphic Design: History in the Writing (1983–2011) comprises some of the most influential published texts about graphic design history. The book documents the development of the relatively young field of graphic design history from 1983 to today, underscoring the aesthetic, theoretical, political and social tensions that have underpinned it from the beginning.
Published by London-based publisher Occasional Papers, the book will be introduced by its co-editors, Catherine de Smet and Sara De Bondt this Thursday evening in Paris at castillo/corrales, 80 Rue Julien Lacroix.
