Innovative Forms: The Lettering of John Skelton

£18.00

This book accompanied the exhibition held at The Letterings Arts Trust in Suffolk from 13th March to 28th June 2020 to mark 20 years since the death of John Skelton MBE in 1999. The exhibition shed light on the innovative letter forms Skelton was using on commemorative work, public commissions and his experimental work for exhibitions.

Much of his prolific output is included here and five major projects have been selected to illustrate his diligence and versitility.

Through pushing the boundaries of conventional letter forms into a more innovative approach, he has earned a place as one of the outstanding artists of the second half of the 20th century.

Includes essays by Ewan Clayton, Tom Perkins, Paul Wehrle, Sarah More and Tom Sargeant.

A4, full colour, 108 pages
