Vignelli: Photographs

by Gary Hustwit, Massimo Vignelli (Contributor)

In 2013 filmmaker and photographer Gary Hustwit spent the day photographing Massimo and Lella Vignelli at their home studio in Manhattan. “I didn’t have any idea what I’d do with the images. But I wanted to try to capture the feeling of being in that place, with the two of them, at that point in their lives.” Vignelli passed away in 2014. Now Hustwit is publishing a selection of those images in Photographs, a small-format hardcover book. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit the Vignelli Center for Design Studies at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The 80-page hardcover book (6.5” x 6.5”) of photographs by Gary Hustwit, printed on recycled stock.
