(Preface) 'Creator of such graphic icons as the '1 Love New York logo and the hallucinatory poster of a psychedelic Bob Dylan, Milton Glaser is one of the most important figures working in design today. Art is Work is a lavishly illustrated overview of Glaser's rich and prolific output of the last twenty-five years, from newspaper, magazine and book designs to posters, toys, corporate identity and CD covers. Glaser considers not only his own work and the current scene, but also argues, in a passionate response to the sometimes trivializing concerns of technology and commerce, that art and the creative life are a serious business, indeed.
He leads us through the development of his ideas to their implementation, referring throughout to alternative ideas, influences and recurring themes. In this fascinating interweaving of images and text, Glaser reacquaints us with the bedrock principles that will always be central to design even as he looks forward to the new opportunities - and dangers - that technology offers.
Featuring a wealth of hitherto unpublished projects and supplemented by working sketches, essays, lectures and rare interviews, this is a glorious celebration of one of the most extraordinarily versatile and acclaimed graphic artists of our time.'
