This is the ninth of a series of annual posters for the Cooperstown Chamber Music Festival. From the start, the central idea of the poster has been a fiddling cow, which embodies the idea of music in rural areas.

This series starts shortly, on July 21, 2010, in Cooperstown, New York.

Templeton Foundation Ads

Several years ago, the Templeton Foundation came to our studio in hopes that we could help them gain respect and credibility in the scientific community. Our solution was to pose 'big questions' and invite people with multiple viewpoints to encourage a pluralistic vision. This is the sixth campaign in the series: 'Does moral action depend on reasoning?', with placements in the Atlantic, New Yorker, Science and a variety of other magazines.

Brooklyn Brewery Sorachi Ace

Last year the Brooklyn Brewery released a new "Brewmaster Reserve" beer based on a rare Japanese hop known as the Sorachi Ace. This beer was available in limited bars in New York City on tap only.

The immediate popularity of Sorachi, however, led Brooklyn to release Sorachi Ace as a bottled beer in their new champagne bottle. Milton Glaser Inc. designed the labels, bottle, and packaging for the beer, which will be in stores later this month.

Milton Glaser Books For Sale

A variety of Milton's books are for sale at miltonglaserworks.com, some of which are collaborative efforts. All books are signed. The following are for sale:

Art Is Work
A rich survey of Milton's work in the 25 years since "Graphic Design." It reveals the artistic
process behind work ranging from posters, prints, and illustrations to restaurant, corporate, and product design.

The Design of Dissent
Visual dissent over the last 10 or 15 years is catalogued with some brilliant examples
from all over the world.

Drawing Is Thinking
Books on drawing are most often organized by chronology, subject matter or medium.
In the case of Drawing is Thinking, the drawings are meant to be experienced sequentially, more like a musical progression than a catalog. The 210 drawings represent a sweeping
range of styles and subject matter.

The Big Race
A new version of the classic tortoise and the hare story that turns over to create an endless narrative. Story by Milton's wife Shirley and illustrations by Milton.

SVA Theatre

This 18-ft kinetic sculpture was installed top of the marquee of the SVA Theatre, on 333 West 23rd Street, on July 18th. The piece rotates in two directions every hour on the hour. At the same time, the announcement of the time appears on the marquee with an accompanying statement about the nature of time, such as this quote from Albert Einstein: "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." Above is a video of the sculpture at night with the new lighting installed.

The form of the sculpture is inspired by Tatlin's Homage to the Third Republic, seen below.
