Summary: Walter Nikkels is a large-scale, copiously illustrated monograph on the work of this influential Dutch book designer and typographer (born 1940).

He has also designed and installed a number of major exhibitions--notably Documenta 7 in Kassel, Bilderstreit in Cologne and the 2003 van Gogh exhibition at the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo. This wide-ranging overview of Nikkels’ award-winning work also addresses typography and its traditions, the representation of art, the meaning of institutional architecture and the communicative value of design.
