Over the course of 13 controversial issues, influential designer Tibor
Kalman (1949-1999) used his position as Editor in Chief of the international
magazine Colors to challenge the status quo. Through a highly visual
language, he creatively explored the world's problems - racism, AIDS - and
preoccupations - sports, shopping - to propel social change. That Colors
was sponsored by the Benneton clothing company made the media experiment
all the more intriguing.
by Kalman, this visually powerful book features spreads from each issue and
reproduces in full a facsimile of the word-free 13th and final Colors.
Kalman's previously unpublished notes and sketches, plus commentary by his
partner, Maira, complete the collection.
