The exhibition features 100 classical books published by the internationally renowned Swiss publisher and designer, Lars Müller. Since 1983, the graphic artist has been presenting books on architecture, design, typography, photography, and social issues that are of high design quality, state-of-the-art style and materials. 

Lars Müller once said, “a book is special when I’ve succeeded in harmonizing its content with its design, and both are good. Nothing is worse than weak content concealed by good design.” It clearly shows his attitude towards book design and publishing. He also has a strong conviction that “there is no digital replacement in sight for the book and its comforting physicality, its formal variety, and the sensuality of its perception.” 

The Power Station of Art museum invites visitors to walk around the world of books and ponder on how the book fits into our world today, and which way it is trying to face towards the future. 

In addition to the exhibition, Lars Müller will also lead a workshop on book cover design with 24 students and young artists from June 21 to 23 at the museum.
