96 pages Edited by Brad Benedict 25,5 x 23 cm Language: English Paperback Publisher: Vermilion 1983
The Blue Book by Brad Benedict is a striking visual compendium that dives deep into the world of pop culture, illustration, and contemporary art. It stands as a curated collection of vibrant artworks, featuring works by both celebrated and obscure artists who shaped the aesthetics of the late 20th century.
Far from being a traditional book, The Blue Book reads more like an art object — packed with full-color pages, punchy graphics, and a playful, sometimes irreverent tone. It belongs to a trilogy (alongside The Black Book and The White Book) that showcases Brad Benedict’s flair for assembling powerful visual stories across themes like fashion, sexuality, humor, and the avant-garde.
It’s a cult classic among collectors, graphic designers, and anyone obsessed with the crossover between commercial art and underground culture. Think of it as a time capsule of eccentric brilliance and boundary-pushing design.
