Martin Venezky is known as a graphic designer experimenting in typography and book and publication design. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art honored Venezky with a 2001 solo exhibition of his design work, and his monograph, It Is Beautiful...Then Gone, was published by Princeton Architectural Press.
Throughout his career, Venezky has maintained a deep interest in photographic process and abstraction. For the past several years, and especially during a recent one-year sabbatical, he has experimented further with this interest, creating new bodies of work in photography and photographic installation.
Venezky has an undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College and an MFA in Design from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He has taught at RISD and CalArts and, for over 24 years, at California College of the Arts in San Francisco, where he is currently Professor in the Graduate Design Program. In 2015 Venezky was inducted into the esteemed Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI).
