Push Pin’s exhibition at the Palais du Louvre’s Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris marked the first time American graphic design was given a show at the famed institution. French poster designer and longtime friend of Milton Glaser, Jean-Michel Folon, played an integral role in convincing the museum to commit to the show. Glaser created a slightly different poster for all of the exhibition’s eight stops around the world, each playing with the Art Deco-inspired fan motif that he had incorporated into the studio’s official stationery (examples of which you can see in the nearby ephemera case). The list of names along the lower edge of the poster showcases the range of talented artists represented by Push Pin in 1970, many of whom contributed to the exhibition’s 631 pieces on display.
