Art Athina, one of Europe’s most established art fairs, inspired a publication that maps thirty years of exhibitions, artists, and cultural moments. The project required a flexible system capable of integrating archival material of varying formats—catalogs, press cuttings, photographs, posters, logos—into a coherent visual language while honoring the historical narrative.

A carefully structured modular grid ensures each element maintains its integrity, while a typographic mix ranging from archival monospaced to expressive serifs and bold grotesques, gives rhythm to the pages. Minimalist black-and-white surfaces contrast with bursts of color and playful compositions, highlighting the evolution of the fair’s identity across decades.
