“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”.

我们将这本画册定义成一簇捧在手中的花”,通过7张可以呈现作品局部1:1大小内页折叠后通过一张透明封面将内容包裹在一起通过内页中特殊的画面关系也让读者翻阅过程中视线沉浸在Katz连续和变换的大幅花卉作品中
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.
