Exhibition Catalogue
Multiple Impressions was an exhibition at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) that "presented works by forty-one leading printmakers from contemporary China to showcase the extraordinary innovations, in both technique and conception, which have transformed this long-established art form in recent years." The catalogue uses contemporary litho techniques to complement the images and visualize the print process.
The title spread inverses the exhibition's name (largely set in Evert Bloemsma's FF Balance) to allow the reader to mimic the process of pulling a print.
The varnish is used consistently (though sparingly) throughout the book, and only with titles or display cases.
Above: All tombstones are set in English and Chinese.
