Květa Pacovská is internationally known for her artist’s books, which combine art and picture books. In her work, she explored the expressive potential of the book and its functional elements such as binding, book block, cover, page sequence, typeface, and images. In doing so, she drew on abstract modernism and created points of contact with post-minimalism.

In this poster for her own exhibition at the Leipzig City Library in 1997, she broke down letters into an abstract play of lines, transforming the medium’s informational function into a calligraphic one, emphasizing the importance of artistic design in her work.
