The cover design for Fred Wilson: Objects and Installations, 1979–2000 was conceived to have the viewer focus entirely on the artist and his art. With one image dominating both the front and back cover, the use of the spine of the book as the informational zone becomes critical. Dan Meyer’s superb photograph of the artist’s piece Guarded View assisted immeasurably in completing this process.
