Farbe / Color (Armin Hofmann)
Over the course of his long career, Armin Hofmann made countless color studies. These aren’t them. But they are derived from that careful attention paid to chromas. This book reproduces his studies-into-art-into-silkscreens and is accompanied by a few good essays by family and other respectable persons. A spectacular showing of what’s possible after years of looking closely—and an excellent specimen of typography and bookmaking. And it’s signed by Armin on the title page.
