Milton Glaser (June 26, 1929 – June 26, 2020) was an American graphic designer whose most recognized works include the I ❤ NY logo, the 1966 Bob Dylan poster, and the Catskills Mountains posters. His work has been featured in numerous exhibits in the United States and internationally. He had one-man shows at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
In 2004, Glaser won a National Design Award Lifetime Achievement from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum for his profound and meaningful long-term contributions to the contemporary practice of design. In 2009, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House. Glaser is the first graphic designer to have received this award.
Milton Glaser maintained a home in Woodstock for many years. In 1987, when the Town of Woodstock celebrated its bicentennial, he designed a special poster for Woodstock. A limited edition of only 200 copies of the Woodstock Town Bicentennial poster were printed. A limited number of these posters are now available for sale at the Historical Society of Woodstock gift shop as a fundraiser for the Historical Society.
