Here's the cover design for this upcoming publication, which will accompany the exhibition. The designer, Gina Binkley, chose a simple, text-based look, which will be embossed on thick, uncoated paper so that the text is raised, to complement the title of the show and the work of Jim Routh. The embossing suggests the process of printmaking, the tall and thin letters mirror Routh's frequent skinny verticals, the absence of a color palette reflects Routh's black-and-white work and the overall extreme simplicity matches nicely with the look of the artist's images and the aesthetic sensibility of his era. We love it when a look is so carefully thought out, and we look forward to the rest of the book, which we'll update you on as it gets closer to reality.
