Book, Expo '70 color environment

This is a Book. It was published by Japan Color Research Institute.

This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Smithsonian Libraries and Archives as part of Saturated: The Allure and Science of Color.

It is dated 1970. Its medium is offset lithograph with collage.

Founded in 1927, the Japan Color Research Institute was tasked with the “color planning” for Japan’s first World’s Fair, EXPO ‘70. While color coordinating 107 pavilions, 75 of which were foreign, proved impossible, they measured and documented the colors used in each "to serve as research data for the future color environment plans.”

It is credited Gift of Issac H. Godlove, Smithsonian Libraries, QC495 .E96 folio.
