Fold Four is designing the “Regarding Warhol: Fifty Artists, Fifty Years” catalogue for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The cover, pictured here, is intended to evoke the outsized effect that Warhol has had on subsequent generations of artists. The placement of the type also centralizes and thus lends prominence to the other fifty artists featured in the exhibition.
Fold Four is working with the Museum of Modern Art on the catalogue for their upcoming Quay Brothers exhibition and film retrospective. The book will be similar in size and scope to the Tim Burton publication I designed for MoMA several years ago.
This music video is one of several that the Quay Brothers made for His Name is Alive.

Covers and sample spreads for the Art Institute of Chicago’s Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity exhibition catalogue, designed by Fold Four.
These are mock-ups from my design presentation for the DePaul Art Museum’s RE: Chicago exhibition catalogue. The cover of the chosen design features a detail of a painting by Christina Ramberg, with specific placement of the die-cut title (a wink and a nod to “the city of big shoulders.”)
The kraft paper scheme is a material reference to Chicago’s industrial and blue collar roots. The names of the 40 included artists wrap around the front and back covers, creating what could be read as a skyline, or the lakeshore, depending on your perspective.
The third option utilizes a cast coated one side sheet. The dust jacket folds to simultaneously show both the glossy and uncoated sides of the paper. This contrast is echoed in the framed photograph—a dilapidated tenement building set against the skyscrapers of the Chicago Loop. The printed pages would be re-collated so that the text page on the left would be on the uncoated side of the paper, while the accompanying artist’s image on the right would be on the glossy side throughout the book.
