Milton Glaser
POP
Celebrate this kaleidoscopic new survey of Milton Glaser’s POP period with a conversation with the authors.
Join us for a dynamic conversation with the authors of Milton Glaser: POP, a landmark overview of the work of legendary illustrator and designer Milton Glaser during the 1960s and ’70s, which includes hundreds of examples of Glaser’s work from this quintessential period that have not been seen since their original publication.
The authors of Milton Glaser: POP are acknowledged experts, as well as former friends and collaborators of Glaser himself. Steven Heller is the author, coauthor, and editor of nearly two hundred books about graphic design and design history, and who regularly tapped Glaser to fill out the pages of the New York Times Book Review, which he art-directed for more than thirty years; Mirko Ilić is an art director and coauthor with Heller on several of his design history books; and Beth Kleber is Head of Archives at the School of Visual Art, which houses the Milton Glaser Design Study Center and Archives.
This conversation with Steven Heller, Mirko Ilic, and Beth Kleber, will be moderated by Angelina Lippert, Chief Curator and Director of Content for Poster House.
After the event, you are invited to join us for a reception and book signing. Update: books have sold out.
A limited number of books will be available for purchase at the event, but we strongly encourage you to purchase the book in advance (with ticket purchase).
Brooklyn Brewery is proud to bear their Milton Glaser-designed logo worldwide, and honored to supply beer for tonight’s celebration of Milton’s work.
