George Lois’ Esquire Covers to Go on Display at MoMA
George Lois—the art director whose iconic 1960s Esquire covers influenced an entire generation of magazine designers will be showing his amazing covers for Esquire magazine at MoMA from April 25 to March 31.
The gallery will feature original artwork alongside seven of his most iconic covers, including his controversial portrayals of Muhammad Ali (as the Christian martyr St. Sebastian) and Andy Warhol. The museum will feature 32 of the 92 covers Lois did for Esquire between 1962 and 1972.
The end of an artist-gallery relationship, from both sides
This is one of the best threads I’ve ever read on blogs about art (from the artist and gallery perspective) ever. Not a cautionary tale nor bitter finger pointing – just a straightforward and respectful conversation about a scenario no one cares for. The post is really comprised of two different blogs Edward Winkleman and Nancy Baker (please do read the comments).
