African Art in the Barnes Foundation

Design by Glenn Suokko
Skira-Rizzoli · Barnes Foundation

2015 · Hardcover · 12½ × 9 in · 296 pages · 333 images

I designed African Art in the Barnes Foundation to foreground the sculptural presence of the collection. Through a rigorous attention to proportion and understated typography, the design creates a meditative space that allows the works to be encountered with unobstructed focus and scholarly poise.
