Synopsis

The book is a celebration of the Vaughan Oliver Archive, a treasure house of graphic delights housed at UCA Epsom in the UK. Oliver is the designer who kept the stuff other designers threw proofs, running sheets, paper labels for vinyl records, original artwork for classic album covers, videotapes, books and the weird ephemera that was the source of inspiration for many of his most famous works. Vaughan Archive (‘Materials and fragments’) is arranged around a set of themes — colour, hybrid forms, typography, the body, mystery, etc. It also features a selection of his exquisitely designed press ads, most of them unseen since the day they were published in the music press. Designed by Spin and written by Adrian Shaughnessy, the book features many previously unseen works, including extensive interviews with Oliver, and with contributions from Chris Bigg, his long-standing creative accomplice. Following the sad death of Vaughan Oliver on 29th December 2019, UNIT EDITIONS has decided to reprint a limited number of Vaughan Archive. The book was first published as a two-volume edition in 2018. This new version includes the main book, ‘Materials and fragments’, only.
