Dulwich Picture Gallery is known principally for its paintings. Little attention has been paid to the furniture and the imminent publication of a concise book, generously funded by the Dulwich Decorative & Fine Arts Society (DDFAS), seeks to redress this imbalance. We designed the 40 page book which is due out at the end of September.
Considered one of the most striking pictures in the forthcoming Dulwich Picture Gallery exhibition, 'Drawing Attention', we thought that this Egon Schiele drawing would be perfect for the front cover of the latest issue of In View. We are grateful to the Art Gallery of Ontario which made a generous exception to their "no overprinting, no cropping, no bleeding" rules and allowed us to feature it.
The Enchanted Palace will take place at Kensington Palace between 2010 – 12 while it is undergoing building work. This design to promote it is probably the most luxurious piece we have ever created, involving foil-bocking, die-cutting, litho-printing and singer-sewing.
This exhibition at the British Museum explores the history and archaeology of Tutbury Castle in Staffordshire. The centre piece is the Tutbury Hoard – the largest coin hoard ever found in Britain. We designed the graphics which you can see in room 69a until March 2010.
In 1790 the last King of Poland commissioned two art dealers, who later became the founders of Dulwich Picture Gallery, to buy a collection of paintings as Poland's national collection. A group of the most important state portraits of the King of Poland are on loan from Warsaw to Dulwich. We designed the graphics and a sumptuous 48 page catalogue.
‘Your Wedding Day Captured Forever’ is the motto of Pearl Pictures. Working closely with founders Lucy and Jemma we developed the brand, and designed a suite of materials prominently featuring the wonderful feedback they routinely receive.
For the first time in over 200 years the surviving fragments of Veronese's Petrobelli Altarpiece were reunited at Dulwich Picture Gallery. We designed the graphics with suitable dignified, classically-inspired typography.
In 2004 we were asked by the Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery to develop their magazine In View to reflect the Gallery’s core values. Five years and a further refresh later, this full-colour 24 page magazine is still ‘original, accessible and world-class’.
We designed this 216 page book on the Ashcan Artists for Merrell/Detroit Institute of Art. The Ashcan school of artists are associated with depictions of working-class life in early twentieth-century New York. However they also embraced the world of play enjoyed by all levels of society. Spirited scenes of diverse leisure activities in cafés, bars and parks, at the theatre, on the beach, at sporting events and in the countryside provide a refreshing look at this important artistic movement.
These are the first words of Sir Christopher Wren's famous epitaph at St Pauls which reads: ‘Reader, if you seek his monument, look around you’. They were the inspiration behind our design for this invitation to a lunch and tour of St Paul’s in its tricentennial year.
The British Museum asked us to design the graphics for a new gallery devoted to the display of their magnificent collections of Clocks and Watches. The Sir Harry and Lady Djanogly Gallery opened in November. We’re also designing the graphics for a new Medieval Gallery which will open in 2009.
Saul Steinberg was an American artist whose magic lit up the pages and
covers of The New Yorker for six decades. Dulwich’s restrospective exhibition features more than a hundred drawings, collages and sculptural assemblages. This poster and flyer were among the internal and external graphics we created for the exhibition.
The title of this post, when translated from Welsh, means ‘Professional Values - Value for money’. This was the theme for trade union Napo’s AGM which recently took place at Venue Cymru in Llandudno. For the sixth year running we designed the graphics. In the picture on the right David Hanson MP addresses conference. Photo © Stefano Cagnoni.
The Revival’s unique combination of pre-1966 motor racing, famous drivers and riders, classic vehicles, air displays, period fashions, music, food and a uniquely nostalgic atmosphere are all celebrated in Goodwood Revival, The First Ten Years. We designed the book for Merrell Publishers who also produced a limited edition bound in cloth and leather available from the
Goodwood online shop.
The Royal Academy of Arts presented the first major exhibition in Britain devoted to Lucas Cranach the Elder (c.1472–1553). The exhibition brought together some 70 works chosen to represent the quality and range of this important master. We worked closely with the exhibition designer Eric Pearson to create the graphics and with the curators to produce large-print guides for the visually impaired.
We designed the 224 pages of ‘The Royal Palaces of London’ for Merrell. It is the first major survey to bring together the stories of London’s magnificent royal palaces, from Eltham and Greenwich in the east, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Whitehall and Westminster in the centre to Hampton Court and Kew to the west.‘The Royal Palaces of London’ is written by David Souden, Lucy Worsley and Brett Dolman and features a foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales. Published in association with Historic Royal Palaces.
