MILTON GLASER (1929-2020)


Dylan.
Offset lithograph poster. 835x555 mm; 32½x21⅞ inches. 1966. Hand-signed by the artist in black marker.

This is certainly the most famous poster designed by Milton Glaser and one of the most recognized images of post-war American pop culture. This poster was printed in huge quantities and inserted in Dylan's "Greatest Hits" album in 1967. However, it seems that after being pinned up in college dorm rooms, many were discarded, and have now become scarcer. For the poster Glaser also designed a brand-new type face, called Babyteeth, which he used for the poster's single word.
