Milton Glaser, groundbreaking graphic designer who created the 'I ❤ NY' logo, passes away at 91
FirstpostMilton Glaser’s pictorial sense was so profound, and his designs so influential, that his works in later years were preserved by collectors and studied as fine art. New York: Milton Glaser, the groundbreaking graphic designer who adorned Bob Dylan’s silhouette with psychedelic hair and summed up the feelings for his native New York with “I NY,” died Friday, his 91st birthday. In posters, logos, “Around our office, of course, he will forever be one of the small team of men and women that, in the late sixties, yanked New York out of the newspaper morgue and turned it into a great American magazine,” the magazine’s obituary of Glaser said. “What I’m suggesting is we eliminate the term art and call everything work,” Glaser said in an Associated Press interview in 2000, when the Philadelphia Museum of Art hosted an exhibit on his career. “It was a new use of the poster — a giveaway that was supposed to encourage people to buy the album,” Glaser told The New York Times in 2001.
