The Ratio catalogue is a seminal work of design that defined the aesthetic of postmodern art in the late 1970s. Published by Studio 17, this catalogue features an array of innovative and provocative works that challenged the conventions of modern art.
Within its pages, you'll discover over sixty images showcasing the work of prominent artists such as John Baldessari, Lawrence Weiner, and Robert Rauschenberg. These photographs capture the essence of their creative process, revealing a world where boundaries are pushed and meanings are blurred.
The catalogue's design is equally noteworthy, featuring bold typography and innovative layout that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Ratio's influence can be seen in many subsequent design movements, from conceptualism to postmodernism.
This reissue of the original 1979/80 edition offers a unique glimpse into the creative process of these visionary artists, while also providing a fascinating artifact for designers and art historians alike.
