Hi
I'm looking for examples of 'Typography as art' ie where letterform is the only or main part of a piece of art.
If you have any links or suggestions I would be happy to hear them.

Aziz, deleted - is part of a series I'm working on which speaks of the destruction, deconstruction and reconstruction of the written word. It may appear stupidly simple - but it ain't.
This is a great thread, nice question stephen - I see some familiar names who have/do inspire me, and some new ones too.

a little avant-weird, but Jan Svankmajer's films make rather extensive use of typography in fairly unprecedented ways..

Hiroshige, do you know a Gentleman/Lady named XXX from XXX?
He/She does Destruction, Deconstruction and Reconstruction, All with just XXX?
Guess he/she is XXX years Old but Wondering y XXX is so XXX?

I don't know if you classify this as art, but it's brilliant stuff.

Hiroshige, just one question:
How do you write 30 in Roman System?

I love these letterpressed posters for the helvetica movie:

One of my favorites is the Italian futurist Fortunato DePero whose work you can see, at among other places, here.

Our ampersand poster could be considered an art project. » Contains video «
No apologies for the blatant self-promotion.

Last week I saw Marian Bantjes presentation at the TDC.
Her work is not only wonderfully imaginative and artistically superb, but it just makes you feel happier, like the old Beatles music. A rare treasure and pleasure.

I say this periodically: Bantjes is the messiah of PoMo.
So unlike the hooligans of the 90s.

My work is very typographic - I hand carve linoleum alphabets and print with them on fabric dishtowels, shirts and bolts of fabric. I have an installation hanging in the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln Massachusetts:

hi guys
Please this is urgent!
Does anyone know if the Kufi Ayah posted on this sheet is copy written? I mean can I use it in one of my designs?
I would highly appreciate a quick answer!
