    Were there any more drawings in this exhibit? Do you have a copy of the one Jack Potter did?

      Daniel-
      Sadly, the only documentation we have of the exhibition is this catalog and for some reason, Jack Potter’s work was not included (though he is listed as a participant on the back). Strange.

I love this video from 1978 of Milton Glaser talking about his work. I often forget that Glaser was unusually involved with the NYC cultural world far beyond design/illustration.
