Exhibition: Gastrotypographicalassemblage
I went down to Kemistry Gallery on Wednesday to see theri new exhibition of Lou Dorfsman’s work.
Lou Dorfsman worked for CBS from 1946, when he was hired as art director for the CBS Radio Network, through to 1987, when he left the company (as senior vice president and creative director for marketing communications and design) to establish his own studio.
For the show, the gallery has obtained over 60 original examples of print advertising for CBS, art directed by Dorfsman. But the showstopper is definitely the specially-created half-scale, photographic reproduction of Gastrotypographicalassemblage.
I also bought the galleries special edition A2 blind embossed poster on Pike 240gsm of the Gastrotypographicalassemblage.
