Rare original folder published on the occasion of the Soviet exhibition at Pressa Cologne 1928. The exhibition showed graphic design, publishing and press material and El Lissitzky was in charge. His design for the exhibition brought together architecture, graphics, photography, film and sound. He combined photomurals, and letters of every thickness and type running in every direction, turning the Soviet pavilion into a vast multimedia installation. The present folder is a text only and Sergey Ingulov writes on the situation of the newspaper in the Soviet Union of 1928. Cover possibly by Solomon Telingater or maybe even El Lissitsky.
