Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation: Campaign for the Next Century
Design/Writing/Research, New York, New York, 1997
Description
The Guggenheim has become both famous and infamous for its international scale and impressive building projects. This publication, which is intended to help raise $200 million, is asking donors to expand the resources of the museum and support its growth. The front of the book is handled as a full-color visual dossier, while the financial data in the back is treated as a two-color report. The typography (a custom-designed font called Guggenheim) refers to the Frank Lloyd Wright lettering that is found throughout the Fifth Avenue building. A thumb notch marks the famous spiral ramp of the Guggenheim. The small scale of the book and its modest production deliberately undercut the expectation that everything associated with the Guggenheim is large and costly, offering itself as a sleek, concise document.
