Edna Taçon accompanies the first major publication dedicated to Canadian artist Edna Taçon (1905–1980), bringing together paintings and archival material from her career. Following curator Renée van der Avoird's research and rediscovery of Taçon’s work, the book offers a renewed view of her contribution to non-objective art in Canada and New York. Published by the Art Gallery of Ontario and Goose Lane Editions.

Inspired by exhibition catalogues and printed ephemera from the 1930s and 40s, the typography pairs Futura with Rillus, balancing historical reference with a contemporary editorial voice.
