Booty
That’s what it is.
Above: Boom, boom, boom. Purchased from Minotaurus Boekwinkel. I photographed some of the posters for her retrospective and you can see them on Geotypografika Flickr. It’s impossible to leave Amsterdam without fearing the baggage weight check when you arrive at Schipol. Any self-respecting type and design geek will invariably collect all printed matter we can get our hands on, and this trip proved no exception for me. Full economy mode, and I didn’t tip the scales.
Above: Dieter Roth, Inserate. The above was found on a great day walking with Danny and Marieke from Experimental Jetset, and purchased from the delightful (yet dangerous) bookshop, Boekie Woekie.
