Wilcox Design had the great opportunity to design MISC. Apuntes de la Colección del Museo Guggenheim Bilbao for the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in celebration of their 25th anniversary. The catalog highlights 25 stellar works within the museum collection and pairs them with texts by museum curators, written as a series of miscellaneous notes and perspectives about each artwork.
The holographic coating on the cover is an energetic translation of silver—the traditional material used to celebrate a 25th anniversary. The hologram adds dimension and depth to the books’ appearance— it is reflective, abstract, colorful and transforming.
The books’ interior design uses a bright, fluorescent green for the divider pages and artist names. The fluidity of the interior layout allows the text columns to be in a visual dialog with the artwork.
We thank the Museum’s Publications Department for their expert skill in overseeing this project and to Brizzolis for the beautiful printing and binding. The exhibition will be at open through January 22, 2023.
