Series of Four

Boris Mikhailov is part of an important tradition of post-Soviet visual artists. His naturalistic imagery captures a time that is now nearly forgotten, making him the artist of a generation. The Space Between Us, a major 2020 retrospective at the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden curated by Luisa Heese, presented nearly 40 years of Mikhailov’s work, from 1965 to the present.

Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden Series of Four 2020

  • To commemorate the occasion, we designed the catalog Boris Mikhailov: Series of Four. The book focuses on a series of photographs taken in the early 1980s in Mikhailov’s hometown, Kharkiv, which at the time was part of the USSR.

  • The catalog begins with an introductory essay by Luisa Heese and features 150 photographs, providing a comprehensive overview of Mikhailov’s work. The design is a study in tactile variety, wrapping a glossy transparent cover around a book printed on untreated paper. The contrasts are typographical as well, with the geometric shapes of LL Circular played off against the traditional serifs of Fleischman BT.
