Description

The name of Anne Hoffmann is instinctively related by many artists, architects, museum people, and especially by book-lovers, to the range of media the Danish-born Swiss book and graphic designer has created over the course of three decades:posters, flyers, cards, CD booklets, and - above all - countless books.

Hoffmann came to Basel in the 1980s to study with ArminHofmann, one of Switzerland's preeminent graphic designers and teachers of his art, at the city's School of Design.

In Basel shealso established her own studio in 1986, which she moved to Zurich in 2007, and soon began working closely with Swiss andinternational artists such as Silvia Bachli, Richard Hamilton, or Karim Noureldin. In 'Mostly Books', naturally designed by studio Anne Hoffmann Graphic Design, she reviews thirty years of work.

The selectioncomprises some 120 objects, featured in an annotated book diary.

Besides this panorama, the book explores the topic ofgraphic design from a variety of perspectives.

Statements by artists Chris Bunter, Miriam Cahn, and Claudio Moser; architectKana Ueda Thoma; author and curator Peter Suter; jewellery designer Torben Hardenberg; museum director and curator BeatWismer; musician Jurg Halter; and scholar Etienne Lullin reflect on the importance of the book per se and its design. Text in English and German.
