The Work of Art by Adam Moss

As an art director at Pentagram, Patrick worked closely with esteemed editor and author Adam Moss on The Work of Art: How Something Comes from Nothing (Penguin Press). The book features nearly 50 artists, including Sofia Coppola, David Simon, Stephen Sondheim, and Barbara Kruger. Each chapter is curated like an archive of sketches, scraps, notes, and near-misses, mirroring the creative process itself. The book is a New York Times bestseller, named one of Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2024, and described by NPR’s Ari Shapiro as “a visual feast.”
