“They have an image, and they can’t stop. You keep moving on them.” That’s how Alex Katz describes the series of flower paintings he created during the 2020 Covid-19. We were commissioned by the Gladstone Gallery to design a monograph for this series of works from the artist named “Flower”.

A bouquet that can be held in hand – this is how we define this monograph. Folded and wrapped in a transparent cover, seven inner pages present parts of the work in a 1:1 proportion to the real artwork. The featured layout design constructs a special tension between pages, allowing readers to immerse themselves in Katz's continuous and changing large-scale flower works during the reading process.
