"Fons Hickmann Posters — Now and Then," a 172-page monograph from Slanted Publishers, has been launched to align with Fons Hickmann's significant exhibition at the Brandenburgisches Landesmuseum für moderne Kunst. The book, crafted by Sven Lindhorst-Emme in close partnership with Hickmann, showcases a grey linen cover adorned with hot foil embossing and a structured two-column layout. Essays in both German and English by Helene Roolf and Jürgen W. Schulz accompany full-bleed reproductions of posters. This publication delves into Hickmann's thirty years of visual communication, featuring works like his fluid letterforms for the PAN Museum and bold optical-art designs that serve as political commentary. It is printed in full color on heavyweight uncoated paper, making it a vital resource for designers focused on editorial design and print production, available directly from Slanted Publishers.
