Homecoming by Warren King

This book about Warren King’s sculpture works was created to coincide with his exhibition Homecoming at the James Watrous Gallery in Madison, Wisconsin. Designer Mark Brautigam about the work:

The book takes its cues from Warren’s process. The cover features a view of the sculpture The Road Leads Home printed on a natural paper similar to cardboard. Two essays about Warren’s background and artistic process are produced in white ink on dark red paper to separate them out from the art-specific essays. Details of sculptures interact with the text, which is framed with generous margins for readability. The back cover features an embossed cicada — a recurring element in Warren’s work.

The titles are set in Ergon Light while the running text uses a classic of humanistic typography: Optima by Hermann Zapf.
