ReviewsA witty, eclectic tome of images and writings-half catalogue, half manifesto-- spanning the career of the graphic designer Tibor Kalman, the man behind Benetton'sColorsmagazine; a Communist-theme apartment building called Red Square that hastened gentrification on the Lower East Side while seeming to subvert it; and the new Forty-Second Street, for which he claims full responsibility. Kalman creates powerful, unprecedented, sometimes haphazard imagery (Ronald Reagan with AIDS, a saint having an orgasm), but always for commercial purposes (to sell sweaters). New Yorker The context of this book, like the person it profiles, is informal and spontaneous. It is a selection of Kalman's prolific efforts including the unforgettably good, the bad and the downright ugly (he is still apologetic about his work for Red Square, a posh real estate development in the heart of Manhattan's downtrodden Lower East Side.) Documentation of his projects is accompanied by the bantering, but frank, commentary of Kalman and early M&Co designers such as Michael Beirut and Stephen Doyle. Communication Arts
