Colors: Tibor Kalman Issues 1-13

About this book

Over the course of 13 controversial issues influential designer Tibor Kalman (1949-1999) used his position as Editor in Chief of the international magazine Colors to challenge the status quo. Through a highly visual language he creatively explored the worlds problems--racism AIDS--and preoccupations--sports shopping--to propel social change. That Colors was sponsored by the Benetton clothing company made the media experiment all the more intriguing. Following the success of Tibors un(Fashion) this visually powerful book features spreads from each issue and reproduces in full a facsimile of the word-free 13th and final Colors. Kalmans previously unpublished notes and sketches plus commentary by his partner Maira complete the collection.
