Milton Glaser, designer of ‘I Love NY’ logo, dies at 91

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. “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. His designs also inspired the playbill for Tony Kushner’s “Angels in America” Glaser was born in 1929 in the Bronx and studied at New York’s Cooper Union art school and in Italy.
