Peter Saville: Editions Vol I – Peter Saville: Paul Stolper Gallery Editions 2002 - 2018 Vol II – Anna Blessmann / Peter Saville: Sign Editions
Brought together for the first time are all of Peter Saville’s limited edition artworks produced between 2002 and 2018 with the Paul Stolper Gallery in London. As the art director and co-founder of Factory Records, Saville accessed a mass audience through the sub-cultures of pop music, best exemplified by the series of record sleeve artworks he created for Joy Division and New Order between 1979 and 1993. He cites Factory’s idealism, rather than any commercial objective that allowed him and other influential Factory artists to communicate ideas, aesthetics and ultimately values to a formative audience. For the last 16 years he has collaborated with Paul Stolper Gallery in London to produce a significant body of work including both works on paper and sculpture. Using
a large variety of techniques and materials, including silkscreen printing, inkjet printing, tapestry, perspex, neon and resin, his work draws on much of his existing seminal graphic work to create variations on themes and works. This publication, produced in both limited edition and collector’s edition formats, includes two volumes, one of his solo work and one of his collaborative works with Anna Blessmann. The two books had been designed by Saville himself and are presented in a slipcase. Peter Saville is perhaps the most influential graphic designer and art director of his generation. Anna Blessmann is an artist and the designer of the fashion brand A_PLAN_APPLICATION.
