PROJECT DESCRIPTION

"Wangechi Mutu" is a catalogue accompanying a 2022 exhibition comprising large-scale bronzes, earthworks, and films by Wangechi Mutu at Storm King Art Center. Co-published by Storm King and X Artists’ Books, this book's unique cover includes a foil stamp, tipped-in image that bleeds off of the foredge of the book cover and backcover. When placing back and front together, side by side, the image is completed. The book's typographic choices play with the sharp organic forms found in Mutu's bronze forms. The book feels like a storybook in form and shape, connecting back to the magical world that Mutu has created through her sculpture.
