SVA ❤ Milton Glaser / Client: School of Visual Arts
SVA♥Milton was part of the School of Visual Arts year-long series of tributes to design legend, Milton Glaser. A longtime faculty member and former acting chairman of the school, Glaser passed away on his 91st birthday in June 2020. He was a co-founder of the noted design firm Push Pin Studios and New York Magazine. Glaser is known for many significant logos, including the famous “I ♥ NY” design.
The exhibition brings the viewer into Glaser’s world with elaborate set designs like a record shop and book shop displaying the hundreds of covers he designed for music albums, books and magazines. Also shown are his 26 SVA subway posters, intricate process work from the archives, photos and archival audio recording of his classes at SVA, plus his original desk with all its surroundings, meticulously researched and recreated to match his famous office setup.
