A rare opportunity to see the personal work of one of America’s (in fact, he was born in London) great graphic designers, Ivan Chermayeff. Like the late Alan Fletcher, Chermayeff is a passionate lover of the low-tech art form of collages and has been producing them for the past half century, scavenging from packaging, envelopes and found goodies from here and there.
Cut and Paste will open from Saturday 19th July through to Sunday 14th September at The De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill on Sea.
The pavilion itself was designed by Ivan’s father (the architect Serge Chermayeff) and his partner Erich Mendelsohn in 1935 and was restored to its former glory in 2005.
