About the Item
Few graphic artists defined the cultural rhythm of postwar America as distinctly as Milton Glaser, and his 1975 poster for the Saratoga Performing Arts Center is no exception. Celebrating one of the United States’ premier summer festivals, this original lithographic print embodies the symphonic convergence of music, modernity, and motion.
Glaser’s composition is instantly mesmerizing — a silhouette of a head filled with vibrant, swirling ribbons of color, suggestive of both sound and thought. The image blurs the boundary between the auditory and the visual, evoking the explosion of creativity that defined Saratoga's multidisciplinary performances — from jazz to ballet to symphony.
Held annually in Saratoga Springs, New York, the festival is known for hosting legendary performers and companies such as the New York City Ballet, Philadelphia Orchestra, and jazz greats from across the globe. Glaser’s poster perfectly captures the eclectic and open-spirited nature of the event.
Milton Glaser, most renowned for his "I ❤ NY" logo and Bob Dylan psychedelic poster, channels similar energy here. This poster reflects his talent for using abstract visual language to express cultural richness and emotional resonance. The fluidity of the lines and bold contrasts are signature Glaser — balancing chaos and control, much like a great improvisational jazz solo.
Today, this poster is a prized artifact of 1970s American design, equally desirable among collectors of music ephemera, Glaser aficionados, and fans of modernist graphic art. A visual hymn to creativity and summer festivity, it's not just a poster — it's a performance in print.

Milton Glaser
Milton Glaser may be best known for a 1977 doodle that became his hometown’s unofficial slogan: I ♥️ NY. But the Bronx-born graphic designer had many other successes during his nearly 70-year career, including iconic posters and prints and cofounding the groundbreaking design firm Push Pin Studios.
In the 1950s, American graphics tended toward a Swiss-influenced precision. Glaser, however, pulled from the whole of art history for his designs, inspired by his studies with the painter Giorgio Morandi while on a Fulbright scholarship in 1952. His famous Bob Dylan poster, a landmark of the psychedelic age, was inspired by a Marcel Duchamp self-portrait and the jewel-like colors of Islamic art.
A cofounder of New York magazine, Glaser went on to design for scores of other publications, and in 2009 he was awarded the National Medal of Arts.
In an instance of life imitating art, Glaser was asked to create the promotional posters for the final season of Mad Men, which aired in 2014 and 2015. “I could have walked in the door of that firm,” the designer told the New York Times of the fictional Sterling Cooper & Partners. “I knew those people.”
“There are three responses to a piece of design — yes, no and wow!” he said. “Wow is the one to aim for.” Glaser rarely, if ever, missed the mark. He died of a stroke in 2020.

Milton Glaser's Great Illustrators of Our Time exhibition at Rizzoli Galleries
By Milton Glaser
Located in PARIS, FR
Few names resonate in the world of graphic design as powerfully as Milton Glaser, and this 1982 poster is a quintessential example of his ability to merge elegance with immediacy. Created to promote the Great Illustrators of Our Time exhibition at Rizzoli Galleries, the poster is both an homage and a showcase—highlighting not just the work of Glaser himself but the broader cultural importance of illustration in 20th-century art and publishing.
The composition is unmistakably Glaser: bold yet balanced, playful but deliberate. His signature use of vibrant color palettes, whimsical linework, and symbolic imagery elevates the poster beyond mere promotion—it becomes a collectible in its own right.
At a glance, the poster celebrates visual storytelling. It encapsulates the spirit of an era when illustrators were not just supporting the text, but redefining it—shaping magazine covers, books, advertisements, and cultural identity itself.
