Made in Italy NYC

The graphic design connection between Italy and the U.S. is often reduced to the role and figure of Milan-born Massimo Vignelli, well known for his projects and activities once he moved to New York. However, there are many other Italians and Americans who nurtured this connection post-WWII. Some are key figures in Italian or American graphic design history; others are less well-known and have been rediscovered recently. The book is organized in four sections, offering the opportunity to explore this connection and uncover more about ‘Made In Italy’ graphic design. Italians who moved to the U.S. for short or extended periods, or Americans who moved to Italy or worked for Italian companies. A special section is the third one, dedicated to books written by American authors published in Italy. The final fourth section is dedicated to ‘masters’, not necessarily already well-known personalities.
