Milton Glaser Design Study Center and Archives Acquires Tony Palladino Collection

The Milton Glaser Design Study Center and Archives has acquired more than 400 works by the New York artist and designer Tony Palladino.

Through a gift of the artist, the Tony Palladino Collection will be held at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) for preservation and research alongside previously acquired collections of work by legendary designers Milton Glaser, Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar, Henry Wolf and Ed McCabe.

A former student of Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell and William Baziotes, Tony Palladino has worked on numerous high-profile advertising campaigns, identity systems and book jackets, and authored two children's books.

He is a laureate of the New York Art Directors Hall of Fame and is represented in the design collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

The artist's work is known to millions of New Yorkers through SVA's longstanding subway poster campaign.

Having created some of the campaign's earliest designs, Palladino now teaches a course at SVA on the history and technique of poster design.

He has been on the faculty since 1958.

The Tony Palladino Collection contains 180 sketches and pieces of original art, 30 posters, and over 200 printed examples of his design and illustration work, including book jackets, logos, advertisements, periodicals, promotional materials, and cards.
