In the early 1990s, celebrated graphic designer Paula Scher (Make It Bigger, 2002) began painting maps of the world as she sees it. The larger her canvases grew, the more expressionistic her geographical visions became. Displaying a powerful command of image and type, Scher brilliantly transformed the surface area of our world. Paintings as tall as twelve feet depict continents, countries, and cities swirling in torrents of information and undulating with colorful layers of hand-painted boundary lines, place-names, and provocative cultural commentary. Collected here for the first time, Paula Scher MAPS presents thirty-nine of Scher's obsessively detailed, highly personal creations.
A larger-than-life figure in the design community with a client list to match, Paula Scher turned her first major project as a partner at Pentagram into a formative twenty-five-year relationship with the Public Theater in New York. This behind-the-scenes account of the relationship between Scher and "the Public," as it's affectionately known, chronicles over two decades of brand and identity development and an evolving creative process in a unique "autobiography of graphic design."
This definitive, chronological visual record spans Paula?s early days in the music industry as an art director with CBS and Atlantic records; the launch of her first studio, Koppel & Scher; and her 25-year engagement with Pentagram. 0The monograph is also a visual record of contemporary New York?s urban fabric, indelibly transformed by the designer?s innovative approach to environmental graphics and identity design: from MoMA to Charter Schools; from the High Line to Shake Shack. 0Her logos for global corporations and cultural institutions have cemented her reputation as a giant of identity design. 0A large section is devoted to the designer?s socially and politically-motivated posters, New York Times Op-Ed illustrations and campaign work. 0The book also provides the most up-to-date look at Paula?s idiosyncratic hand-painted maps, an unusually prolific artistic practice complementing her still-growing graphic legacy.
