•Strenger was instrumental in influencing and molding the image of the Porsche brand as we know it today
•This book showcases a first-ever comprehensive collection of Strenger's work, created over the course of his collaboration with Porsche between 1951 and 1988

Erich Strenger (1922-1993), an author, photographer, designer, and illustrator, left his mark on the look of Porsche during the company's formative years in the early '50s and '60s with a design language that, for the most part, continues to bear his signature to this day. He also created countless print products for this successful sports car maker, including Christophorus Zeitschrift für die Freunde des Hauses Porsche, the brainchild of Erich Strenger and Richard von Frankenberg. Over the course of a collaborative relationship with Porsche spanning more than thirty years, the graphic artist, who started out working alone, founded an advertising agency in the heart of Stuttgart with a staff of up to eleven permanent employees. There, Strenger would later create countless racing posters, much like those he had designed in his early days working for Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG as a freelancer in the early '50s.

Strenger was instrumental in influencing and molding the image of the Porsche brand as we know it today. This book showcases a first-ever comprehensive collection of his work, created over the course of his collaboration with Porsche between 1951 and 1988. This monographic and monothematic publication brings the noteworthy highlights of his work to the forefront, focusing attention on the designer's approaches and methods.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This selection is one that offers a refreshing approach to Porsche heritage and culture if you're tired of the same encyclopedic literature. ― Petrolicious

This monographic and monothematic publication brings the noteworthy highlights of Erich Strenger's work to the forefront. ― 360 Magazine

This is a must read for those who want to go beyond the surface of the German Automaker. ― DTK Magazine

The book is a visual treat, with beautiful images and an extensive collection of poster graphics from what was arguably the golden age of marque-centric automobilia. ― Porsche Club of America

This is one of the coolest automotive books to come out this year. It's a beautifully put together look at the life and work of Erich Strenger. ― Road & Track

As attractive as the images in the book are, the text is even more interesting. To only look at Strenger's career prevents you from getting the entire picture. You need to read about it too. ― Rennlist

A cool new book that finally gives the master his due. ― Airows

If you are a Porsche enthusiast, then this a reasonably priced, and important work, about an aspect of Porsche's history that you don't want to be without. ― Porsche Road & Race

The first ever comprehensive collection of Erich Strenger's work with Porsche. ― Car Biz Today Magazine

While it's aimed at historic-Porsche enthusiasts―whom it's absolutely guaranteed to thrill―this 186-page hardcover will delight all fans of the visual arts. ― Hemmings Motor News

Presents the history of the collaboration lushly illustrated with his art and graphics. ― Classic Cars

4.0 out of 5 stars Early Porsche Marketing Art
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2018

I enjoyed the focus on Strenger's creations with Porsche. As a collector of early Porsche literature, I was only vaguely aware of the man behind the brush. This book highlighted some of his best early work as a marketing creator.
The latter par of the book dealt with his career after working with Porsche. It was only mildly interesting to me. If his latter career, although wildly acclaimed, was the sum and substance of the book I would not have purchased it.

Ouvrage original bien dans l'air du temps - la mise en page est très graphique et l'impression sur papier mat pelure renforce l'image "concept book" - dommage que la reliure soit si raide pour profiter pleinement des pages en regard.
