The Herb Lubalin Center of Design and Typography
The Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography opened in 1985 in order to preserve Herb Lubalin's vast collection of work. Its goal was to provide the design community with a means to honor Lubalin and to study his innovative work. Herb Lubalin (1918-1981) is best known for his illustrative typography and groundbreaking work for the magazines Avant Garde, Eros, and Fact. The Study Center's core collection includes an extensive archive of his work, including drawings, promotional, editorial and advertising design, typeface design, posters, logos, and other materials dating from 1950 to 1981. The collection also includes work by other eminent designers including Otl Aicher, Anthon Beeke, Lester Beall, Will Burtin, Lou Dorfsman, Karl Gerstner, Tibor Kalman, Alvin Lustig, Elaine Lustig Cohen, The Push Pin Studios, Paul Rand, Bradbury Thompson, Massimo Vignelli, and many more. There is also a library of books and magazines about design and typography, an extensive collection of posters, myriad type specimen books, and pamphlets within the archive. The Study Center is located at The Cooper Union, 41 Cooper Square, Room LL119, New York. |
