New Work: Laurence King

Angus Hyland has designed the spring 2008 catalogue for Laurence King Publishing. The catalogue demonstrates Hyland’s ongoing work as the company’s consultant creative director and features two forthcoming books designed by Hyland and his team at Pentagram.

Hyland, together with designer Zara Moore, has designed Good Foundations: Trusts & Foundations and the Arts in the United Kingdom, a survey of the vital role of charities in the funding of the arts in the UK. 

Good Foundations contains two separate essays; the first is an in-depth case study on the work of the Rootstein Hopkins Foundation, a charitable arts trust that commissioned and funded the research that makes up the second essay, which provides an overview of UK arts funding in the twenty-first century. The two sections of the book have been linked using a distinctive “z” binding, allowing the book to be published as a single volume whilst maintaining the distinction between the sections.

The book features photography by Phil Sayer, who has also worked with Pentagram on projects such as The Waterways Trust and One & Only Resorts.

Hyland has also designed the cover of 17^th Century Art and Architecture with designer Masumi Briozzo. At 440 pages, Ann Sutherland Harris’ book provides a comprehensive overview of the artistic developments across six European countries in the seventeenth century.
