Avram Gallery
Seeing Things is a show of Milton Glaser’s drawings, watercolors, prints, giclées, and sketchbooks, and a collection of arts-related posters, all created over a span of 50 years.
The most recent work, never before exhibited, is a series called Black Prints. These large giclées challenge the viewer to discover images hidden in a field of closely related dark tonalities.
The show also includes a collection of small-scale, limited-edition giclées selected from Milton Glaser’s most recent book, Drawing is Thinking. Signed books will be available at the gallery.
Summer Reception: Sunday July 19, 2009
There will be beverages and dessert starting at 7 p.m., with a 7:15 p.m. curators talk and a 7:45 p.m. showing of the Wendy Kehs documentary about Milton Glaser, "To Inform and Delight." The documentary is 1 hour and 15 minutes long.
