Glaser Goes Psychedelic

If you’re watching the premiere of the last season of Mad Men this Sunday, you may notice some familiar-ish graphics. That’s because the key art for Season 7 was created by Milton Glaser, based on some of the work he became known for in the 1960’s and 70’s, now frequently described as ‘psychedelia’.

In a profile of the collaboration on The New York Times, Matthew Weiner, creator of Mad Men said:

“I grew up with a poster by Milton in my house, which my parents bought at MoMA,” said Mr. Weiner, 48, describing a 1966 promotion for WOR-FM radio, now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, showing five Beatles-esque performers rendered in a wildly colorful style that evoked both Art Deco and hard-edge painting.”

Milton Glaser’s studio has created a limited-run of archival pigment prints of this poster for sale. Printed on 22 x 17″ velvet fine art paper, and limited to an edition of 200, these works are each signed and numbered by Milton.
