Seymour Chwast
1987 Seymour Chwast 'College for Children' Pop Art Vintage

1987

About the Item

This original poster, designed in 1987 by renowned graphic designer Seymour Chwast, was created for LaGuardia Community College (CUNY) as part of its “College for Children” initiative. Produced by the legendary Push Pin Group, the poster reflects Chwast’s signature style—playful, expressive, and deeply rooted in visual storytelling. This work is not only a rare example of socially engaged design but also holds institutional importance, as it is part of the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. With its bold colors, whimsical figures, and distinctive typography, the poster exemplifies the spirit of accessible education and community outreach, conveyed through the lens of postmodern graphic design. A brilliant representation of Chwast’s contribution to American visual culture, this piece is highly collectible for fans of design history, MoMA-related works, and 1980s graphic arts.
