Recently, I acquired this Milton Glaser poster created for the November 1968 issue of the youth
culture-focused Eye Magazine.
Eye Magazine only put out a total of 15 issues
over its yearlong existence. The other artists featured on its poster
inserts included Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, and
the Beatles.
The National Portrait Gallery acquired an copy in
2011. It comes with a set of original instructions for removing it from
the magazine, aimed at the magazine’s teenage readership (“tear
carefully along the perforated line”).
Aretha Franklin posed with her portrait in the National Portrait Gallery in 2015.
