Art direction and design


Francis Picabia
November 21, 2016–March 19, 2017





Francis Picabia: Our Heads Are Round so Our Thoughts Can Change Direction is a comprehensive survey of Picabia’s audacious, irreverent, and profoundly influential work. For his first New York retrospective in over 45 years, we designed an exhibition identity whose typography and palette brought a sense of play. The exhibition's title is taken from a quote by the artist, and we juxtaposed his provocative voice throughout the ad campaign.


Designed at The Museum of Modern Art, and organized by Anne Umland with Talia Kwartler
