Shirley Glaser, Milton Glaser’s wife, was the gallery director for the School of Visual Arts (SVA) from 1964 to ’69. During her tenure, Milton, who was an SVA faculty member, produced many eye-catching, economical posters for the gallery’s exhibitions, of which this is the most famous. For a show titled Big Nudes, Glaser devised a visual joke: a nude so large she cannot possibly fit on the poster, parts of her body spilling over the implied frame as she attempts to crawl out of view.
