Although it may not be difficult to find examples of his covers, when they’re shown with other examples of his work it’s easy to overlook them. Displayed alongside his firm’s intimately familiar logos for Mobil, Showtime, MoMA, and Chase, they tend to get lost. We’re inclined to notice and remember what we already know, and miss what’s less familiar to us: when in a crowd we seek out faces we recognize, the rest we barely register.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKatherine Small Gallery's inaugural exhibition in Somerville, Massachusetts, allowed Chermayeff's (mostly) early covers to take center stage while simultaneously providing an opportunity to share insights about Chermayeff's remarkable career. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis detailed, full-color catalogue accompanied the exhibition and is the first survey of Chermayeff's early book covers.
