http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270255836176 Graphis 117 Vol. 21 Cover: Flavio Constantini; Article About Saul Steinberg Graphis Press Corp, 1965. Paperback. Clean & unmarked except for previous owner's name on inside front cover. This item is a very rare VG copy of Graphis, the International Journal of Visual Communication, for everyone involved in graphic design and visual culture. 9.25 x 11.75 magazine with 88 pages of b/w and color examples of modern graphic design, circa 1965. Graphis was (and still is) one of the most important and influential European graphic design publication. Each issue always showcased the best graphic and applied art, including advertising, typography, posters, printmaking, illustrators, book arts, ethnic art, etc, with a focus on modern European designers. Graphis is still being published, but the most influential and groundbreaking years are from the 1940s to the mid-1960s. These periodicals are much harder to find than the well known Graphis Annuals, which are essentially pictorial “best of” collections and lack the depth and text of the originals. These publications are also more valuable as they are the original documents. Many of the articles are written by important artists, critics and scholars. Graphis was first published in 1944 by Walter Herdeg in Zurich, Switzerland.. In 1986, B. Martin Pedersen was given the opportunity to purchase Graphis.. He has since further developed the magazine and books and relocated the headquarters to New York City. Graphis has upheld its reputation as the premier publication covering graphic communications worldwide and has been revered for its artistic presentation, impeccable design, and exemplary production qualities. Global in scope, Graphis is a compelling record of the most significant and influential communication work being produced today In visually driven articles, Graphis beautifully presents the best work produced internationally in graphic design, advertising, illustration, and photography.After issue #355, Graphis Magazine ceased to exist in its old format. These older issues are destined to become collector’s items.
