Ark Magazine. The Journal of The Royal College of Art, 1950-1956 (Volumes 1 – 17)

£700.00
Sold

ARK, a style and design journal created by RCA students, was part of an era of cultural transformation across fashion, film, television, advertising, newspapers and magazines. Such was the stature of ARK that it drew contributions from creative luminaries including Ralph Rumney, Lucio Fontana, Alison and Peter Smithson, Toni del Renzio and Reyner Banham.

“ARK has become a vivid historical document. It records, narrates, evokes and recalls its moment (or succession of moments) with energy, eloquence and insight. There were other contemporary British magazines about visual subjects with elements of content or design in common – Motif, Typographica, the short-lived Uppercase, even The Architectural Review – but…none of them could match ARK’s twists and turns, its visual conceits and coups de théâtre, or its eclecticism of content during its heyday from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s.’”

– Rick Poynor in the preface to ARK: Words and Images from the Royal College of Art Magazine 1950-1978, published by the Royal College of Art, London, 2014 designed by Jorg Schwertfeger.

The first 17 issues of Ark magazine, published by students of the Royal College of Art, London, between 1950 and 1956. The format of the magazine was redesigned after the seventeenth issue, making this a complete set in this format.
