Irma Boom

Dutch graphic designer and bookmaker Irma Boom needs no introduction. Still, if you're unfamiliar with her work, she's considered the "Queen of Books." Boom has created over 300 books since the 1980s and is the youngest recipient of the Gutenberg Prize. A selection of her books are part of MoMA's permanent collection.
