It is always difficult to design a book, or anything else for that matter, about one’s own work. In addition, I had to use an affordable format for full-color and maintain a pace whilst showing the works as large as possible.
Color fidelity, binding and paper stocks are vitally important, which is why the book was published in Switzerland and looked after at every stage by its author and publisher Lars Müller, who cares as much about quality as I do.
