Among his countless works and accomplishments, Glaser is perhaps most well-known as co-founder of New York Magazine, the visionary behind the poster for Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits album, and the creator of the ubiquitous ‘I ❤️ NY’ logo. He has quite literally left his mark on everything from coffee mugs, to t-shirts, to yellow cabs. Throughout his career, Glaser helped to shape the visual identity of American pop culture as we know it. He was also the first graphic designer to receive the National Medal of the Arts.
