Steve Frykholm: Geezer – Greatness Among Us (and the MOMA, too)
THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 6 PM, PROGRAM BEGINS AT 7 PM
GRAND RAPIDS ART MUSEUM, 101 MONROE CENTER ST. NW
It is a rare treat to have the chance to meet and listen to an artist from our own midst whose work is not only heavily collected here and abroad, but whose iconic works are a part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
The AIGA West Michigan, with generous support from The Etheridge Group, is proud to welcome Steve Frykholm in a special talk entitled "Geezer."
Frykholm is the man behind the image of Herman Miller for over 40 years that dominated the mid-century modern movement.
But to many on the street, it is his Herman Miller annual picnic posters that he created over the years that has won the world over with their vibrant color, exaggerated sizing and minimalist sensibilities that never sacrificed the humanity of this time-honored tradition.
Recently, Frykholm won the term legendary from the Ad Club of Michigan who awarded him the Silver Medal award for his "outstanding contributions" to the advertising and marketing industry.
If you have never heard Steve speak, you will be thoroughly entertained at this rare opportunity to be so close and in the presences of a living icon of our art and design culture.
