Andrée Putman’s iconic checkerboard motif (which she originated with her designs for the Morgan Hotel) became the foundation of this book’s design, reflected in the front and back covers, the book’s square format, and the layout grid. In addition to the strong black & white themes, Putman has adopted, as a collector of 1930s Depression-era blue glass, that vibrant blue as her signature color. This is the first comprehensive monograph on Andrée Putman’s influential work.
