Michael Bierut 30 years 90 Notebooks Art Exhibit

Graphic designer Michael Bierut has recorded his work and thoughts in a series of identical notebooks dating back to 1982. Today there are over 90 of these notebooks. In this exhibition of work stretching over three decades, finished pieces are juxtaposed with a selection of Bierut's notebooks. Viewers can make connections between original, very rough sketches and finished work, and gain insight into the design process as a result.

Michael Bierut has been a partner in the New York office of the international design consultancy Pentagram since 1990. He is also a senior critic at Yale School of Art, co-founder of the online publication Design Observer and author of Seventy-nine Short Essays on Design. Bierut served as national president of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) from 1998 to 2001. He has won hundreds of design awards and his work is held in major museum collections. Closed for Columbus Day, October 10; Thanksgiving, November 23-27, Winter Break, December 13–January 16.  Open First Fridays, October 7, November 4, December 2, 5:00-9:00 p.m.
