In collaboration with the designer Simon Davies, I published the piece in its entirety in Jan van Toorn: Critical Practice, my monograph about Van Toorn. Until then the Dutch designer\u2019s masterpiece was known by just a handful of frequently reproduced pages. Now Mark Schalken at de Ruimte, a design company in Amsterdam, has photographed and reprinted the entire calendar \u2014 it was launched at a public event to mark the designer\u2019s 80th birthday \u2014 giving a chance to experience its 50 pages at their original scale.
