The Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography
Opened in 1985, the Study Center was created in order to preserve an unprecedented resource: 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 wildly illustrative typography and his avant-garde 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 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 and Massimo Vignelli. There is also a library of books and magazines about design and typography and an extensive collection of posters and type specimen books. The Study Center is located at The Cooper Union 41 Cooper Square, Room LL119, New York. The Lubalin Center is free and open to the public by appointment. Up to two people at a time, and up to two hours per appointment. |
