Welcome to the Hall of Femmes

Last weekend I met Samira Bouabana and Angela Tillman Sperandio of Swedish design studio Hjärta Smärta, two designers who have decided, in the absence of other publishing on the topic, to start their own Hall of Femmes book series. The slim volumes, published by Oyster Press, include new interviews with a series of living female graphic design legends, plus surveys of their work. A public launch, sponsored by the Art Directors Club and the Consulate General of Sweden will be held tonight, June 28, 2011 at the ADC Gallery at 106 West 29th Street, New York.
