This poster was designed for "The Work of Charles & Ray Eames" an exhibition organized by the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., in cooperation with Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein, Germany. This exhibition took place for several years in the United States, Japan and several European countries. I purchased this poster at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York. Designer of the poster, J Abbot Miller was born in Indiana and studied at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York. In 1989 he founded the multidisciplinary studio Design/Writing/Research where, in collaboration with Ellen Lupton, he pioneered the concept of "designer as author" and executed projects in which content and form are developed in a symbiotic relationship. In 1999, he joined the New York office of the design firm Pentagram as a partner. Miller has received numerous awards for his designs, including medals from the Society for Publication Designers, the Art Directors Club and the AIGA. His work is represented in the collections of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
The poster has never hung. A spot on the back of the rolled poster can be seen if you stand close to it. See highly zoomed in photo no 6.
