This poster promotes an evening with Seymour Chwast in conversation with design historian Steven Heller. This talk was held at the SVA Theatre in Chelsea in honor of the release of Chwast’s latest book, referenced in this poster. The verso advertises the event as including “hundreds of images” and “never before seen animations,” while Chwast would “expose his obsessions, as well as his fears, follies and successes.” The design is simply an enlarged version of the book cover, showing Chwast himself in profile, smoking his signature pipe.
