Frutiger (Adrian) - Partages

Adrian Frutiger. Partages. Large folio, 46 X 35cm, [36]p Privately printed, 1962.

26 large grained woodcuts printed in either grey or black on hand-made paper and signed by the artist upon the colophon. Number 60 of 75 copies. Stiff woodcut covers, chemise and slipcase. Slipcase damaged at head (some loss) and slightly spotted, otherwise an ecellent copy.

Adrian Frutiger is of course renowned for his many type designs, most particularly Univers (Deberny & Peignot, 1957), but these 'graphismes' are also of extraordinary interest.
