The early work of Giambarresi consists of representational drawings combined with structured typographic additions. In the 1970's, the typographic elements become dominant. Mirella Bentivoglio organized this catalogue of works from 1963 to 1998 and contributed an introductory essay in which she describes Giambarrese's style as "alphabetical icongraphy." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
