Watch the Parade is a comprehensive survey of Federico Uribe’s work, published by Skira and produced in partnership with Adelson Galleries. Spanning nearly thirty years—from early oils to his inventive assemblages made of everyday materials—the book presents a vivid arc of Uribe’s artistic evolution.

The catalogue alternates between essay sections and portfolio-style plate groupings. For the essays, we established a color-themed structure for each chapter, beginning with a large drop-cap introduction paired with a prominent artwork to set the tone. The plate sections shift into a calmer, more spacious layout, allowing Uribe’s intricate objects—whether formed from pencils, shoes, or hardware—to stand on their own with clarity and impact.

The result is a cohesive visual narrative that balances lively expression with refined presentation, supporting both the whimsy and craftsmanship that define Uribe’s work. Publication Directio Linda Locke was closely involved in the design phase, offering insights and ideas that provided invaluable support and helped elevate the project.

Book design, layout, typography, image preparation, and production coordination by Alex Stevovich for Adelson Galleries.
