The catalog for the 2002 exhibition at the Museum of Modern (New York) is a gorgeous anthology of Constructivist design in books ranging from poetry to religion. The English translation of some of the titles read like poetry: Drunken Cherries, Lacquered Tights, Melancholy in a Robe, As Simple as Mooing, A Head Alone is Prone to Moan and Moans Because It Is Alone, and A Little Duck's Nest of Bad Words. Rare and expensive, but worth the investment if you appreciate minimalist design and typography as art.
