GET ALL THE NEWS AND GET IT RIGHT / THE NEW YORK TIMES. 1951.
45x59 inches, 114 1/4x148 3/4 cm. Condition A-: minor darkening at some edges; small losses at top left edge.
From a series of 23 posters designed for subway and rail stations for the prestigious newspaper. In 1952, the Museum of Modern Art in New York put the posters on exhibition and described them thusly in its press release: "the message ['get all the news and get it right'] is presented . . . without the use of any visual images. Variety is achieved by the use of color, placement of the copy, and painted, drawn or ruled visual accents." Mildred Constantine, the Doyenne of Design from the museum's department of architecture and design, refers to this series as "the most artistically significant institutional advertising design being done in America today." Rare. IPA 51 p. 340, MoMA 611.1951.
