Peter Saville Estate traces the development of designer, artist and cultural observer Peter Saville, from his groundbreaking work for Factory Records in the late 1970s, though to his most recent explorations of the role played by art and design in the highly commodified, visually hyper-literate 21st century. Taking Saville's 2005 exhibition at the migros museum fur gegenwartskunst Zurich as its starting point, the book features essays by Michael Bracewell and Heike Munder, captions by Dan Fox, alongside personal responses to Saville's work from artists Slater Bradley, Liam Gillick, Steven Gontarski, Thomas Grunfeld, Robert Longo, Sarah Morris, Nick Relph & Oliver Payne, Sean Snyder, Wolfgang Tillmans, Kelley Walker, and T. J. Wilcox.<BR>Peter Saville Estate is not a conventional account of Saville's professional practice, rather it collects together work, reference material and ephemera from his archive to form an illuminating and highly personal topography of the life and working methods of one of the most influential designers of the last 30 years.
