HARLEM / NEW YORK 125TH STREET. 1968.

Condition A.

One in a series of 10 images called "Aspects of New York City," designed on behalf of the Container Corporation of America by different artists. In a clever integration of the letter "H," Teubner captures the liveliness of Harlem's 125th street in day-glo colors. Teubner has worked at RVI Corporation, Center for Advanced Research in Design and Unimark International, and created his own company in 1973. "He designed financial and corporate communications for Abbott Laboratories, Inland Steel, Atlantic Richfield, Clark Equipment Company; graphic identity and promotional material for the US Information Agency; posters for the City of New York" (https://chicagodesignarchive.org/designer/peter-teubner). Images of an Era 99, Modern American 130, MoMA 494.1978.
