Thursday night I was privy to a book release party sponsored by Burberry and Men’s Vogue, the affair was for graphic designer Peter Saville’s new volume Peter Saville: Estate 1-727, a survey of his archives. Based from an exhibition originally held at the Migros Museum in Zurich the book was compiled by Saville and holds written contributions from Heike Munder, Michael Bracewell, Wolfgang Tillmans, T.J. Wilcox, Sarah Morris, and others. It chronicles Saville’s involved process and how his designs, through his considered and carefully executed concepts, become artworks. As a cultural survey it sheds light on the British New Wave and Pop scene, as a historical survey it offers a glimpse in the grueling world of graphic design before Illustrator and Indesign. A must read for any fan invested in Saville’s cultural and social revelations in the worlds of advertisement, branding, fashion, and music.
Paperback released by JR Ringier.
