Milton Glaser Design Study Center and Archives to Open at SVASchool of Visual Arts (SVA) is pleased to announce the opening of the Milton Glaser Design Study Center and Archives on Monday, October 16, 2006.
The mission of the Archives is to collect, preserve and make accessible materials in the areas of art and design, with a special emphasis on graphic design.
It currently holds work by world-class designers Milton Glaser, Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar, and Henry Wolf, and will be housed in a specially-designed space within SVA's newly renovated library on the east side of Manhattan.
These vast holdings will provide an invaluable resource to the design community and will allow visitors to see an evolution of a given project, documenting the design process from conception to completion.
The founding gift is from designer and illustrator Milton Glaser, an instructor and board member at SVA since 1961.
The Milton Glaser Collection provides a complete overview of Glaser's incredible and vast body of work: approximately 700 pieces of original art, 1,700 sketches, 380 posters, 150 prints, as well as newspapers and magazines, album covers, menus, letterhead, annual reports, brochures and books designed and/or illustrated by Mr. Glaser.
