Frankfurt am Main, March 23, 2016 - In the Museum of Applied Arts, a comprehensive retrospective of the importance of graphics and typography in Frankfurt am Main can be seen in the Museum of Applied Arts. Around 1,000 historical exhibits mark milestones from visual design modernism from Frankfurt - from the 1920s to the post -war period. They are supplemented by twelve contemporary interventions: statements from twelve design offices from Frankfurt or Frankfurt origin. These twelve "Visual Breaks" show the entire range of Frankfurt design art: from hand-stamped color to RGB LED, from self-reflective spectral samplers to clear statements, from poetry to a decent pinch of humor. Frankfurt studio Markgraph A respectable frame for the entire spectacle: the coloring: black. White. Silver. The consistent typeface: Futura Bold, probably the best known writing from Frankfurt am Main, completed in 1926 in Frankfurt by the designer Paul Renner together with the architect Ferdinand Kramer. To this end, large-format zooms are placed on isolated works: the constructive Frankfurt-Adler, revealing pictograms from the 1960s and style-forming letters such as the "F" in three versions: fracture, FAZ, frontpage. The front page in particular forms the bridge to the here and now. She was the counterpart in and from Frankfurt to David Carson from the west coast of the USA: 'disruptive' design beyond the norm. An experimental departure of a new generation of designers, the tools of which became the computer. , Hauserlacours, KM 7 (Klaus May), Eike König (Hort), Meso, Pixelgarten, Saasfeé, Schultzschultz, Markus Weisbeck (Surface), four5th all new! 100 years of new typography and new graphics in Frankfurt am Main24.
