Don’t throw anything away. Recycle it to Ivan Chermayeff!
The catalog, Ivan Chermayeff Collages 1982-1995, truly shows off his skill as an artist.
Mr. C started his graphic design career back in the late 1950’s along with Tom Geismar. They are responsible for many famous logos: Mobil, Chase Manhattan Bank, Xerox (why, oh why, did Xerox change its logo?), Crane & Co., and PBS, to name a few.
To quote from David Levy, then president and director of the Corcoran, “Over the past two decades, Ivan Chermayeff and I have worked together on many projects. His intellectual depth, his sheer delight in the creative process, and the force of his talent have always made our collaborations an adventure of learning and discovery. As this exhibition eloquently demonstrates, Chermayeff is a unique star in America’s creative constellation.”
This catalog might still be available at the Corcoran gift shop, in downtown DC.
