Günther Uecker: Violations-Connections was produced and designed for German artist Günther Uecker's first exhibition of new work in New York in over 40 years. The book combines large-scale illustrations of exhibited works alongside a series of handwritten statements by Uecker. In addition, newly commissioned photographs of the artist at work in his Düsseldorf studio introduce different book sections.
The slipcase and covers are bound in a canvas reflecting the raw canvas found in Uecker's work, with cover and spine typography foil-blocked in white. The slipcase reproduces the book and exhibition title in Brauer Neue, used throughout, while the book cover repeats this text in Uecker's handwritten script in the original German. Uecker's handwritten titles also recur throughout the captions to illustrations.
