Poster promoting an exhibition of typography and printing, focusing on modern fine books from the renowned Sainsbury Collection. It ran from 26 June to 2 September 1990 at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich, England – specifically at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts (SCVA), a modernist gallery designed by Norman Foster and opened in 1978. The SCVA houses the Sainsbury Collection, one of Europe’s most significant private art collections, emphasising 20th-century art, sculpture, and rare books. The show celebrated the artistry of book design, with highlights including Calder’s illustrated edition of Aesop’s Fables.
