art & architecture magazine covers

I think 

Art & Architecture

was one of the greatest niche

magazines of the 20th century.

Anyone wanna challenge that?

Think before you do.

I don't want to hear about

the Flairs and Views of the world.

While they were great,

they were also short lived

and basically vanity projects.

A&A captures a particular moment in time

perfectly.

In it's 27 year run,

I don't think a single architect I admire

from that period was left out.

But, 

the best part of

A&A are the covers.

There is no rival in the 

architecture/design/art

magazine arena.

It would be hard to name a player in the

graphic design world who 

did no do a cover for them

So, here's to you A&A!

Taschen 

has reproduced

the entire run in a boxed set.

Well worth the money,

although you can't beat a 

crispy, chalky, original....

More on that set
