In commemoration of ggg’s 25th anniversary, and also to celebrate the publication of the 100th volume in the gggBooks series, for its October exhibition the gallery will mount “100 gggBooks / 100 Graphic Designers.”
Publication of the gggBooks series was launched in 1992 as a complement to the gallery’s regular exhibition activities. The series features a compact pocket size that enables easy access to the alluring appeal of graphic design in its myriad variations.
The commemorative exhibition will bring together 100 major works – one each – by the 100 designers (65 Japanese + 35 overseas) featured in the first 100 volumes of gggBooks. Besides highlighting each designer’s unique individuality, the works on show will collectively provide visitors a remarkable kaleidoscope of graphic design from around the world. Also on display will be gggBooks’ very first e-book, the next generation in the publishing world.
A special edition of gggBooks, on the 100 featured graphic designers, will be published in conjunction with the exhibition.
