Ed Fella: Documents

Wir möchten euch ein Buch von Ed Fella vorstellen. “Documents” heißt der Katalog, der die erste monographische Ausstellung des amerikanischen Grafikers Edward Fella in Europa begleitet und sich seiner Arbeit widmet.

Pressetext: Held as part of the 22nd International Poster and Graphic Design Festival of Chaumont, the exhibition was co-produced with non-profit association Fotokino, with support from France’s National Centre for Visual Arts (CNAP) and from Étant Donnés, the French-American Fund for Contemporary Art

Now over 70 years old, Edward Fella (born 1938 in Michigan) continues to work – “I’m still running”, as he likes to say. He is among the graphic-design auteurs who best epitomise America’s post-modern era. His hybridisation of materials, forms, colours and subjects, and the ease with which he moves between media, imbues his art with an originality and depth that will leave an enduring mark on the history of graphic design. 

His output embraces an unusually broad range of techniques and sensibilities: flyers, drawings, photographs, lettering, collages… In its ability to deconstruct America’s landscape and vernacular script, Fella’s work bears witness to an entire swathe of his country’s popular culture.
