As Richard Wilde, chairman of the BFA Advertising and Graphic Design Department at New York’s School of Visual Arts, celebrates his fortieth year at the College, SVA is recognizing him with a dazzling exhibition of iconic works by more than 100 alumni from throughout his tenure. Designed by Kevin O’Callaghan, “The Wilde Years: Four Decades of Shaping Visual Culture” features a This is Your Life-style slate of design stars—including Rodrigo Corral ,Drew Hodges (SpotCo), James Victore , Julia Hoffman (MoMA), Archie Ferguson (HarperCollins), Molly Sheahan (BBDO), and Scott Wadler (MTV Networks)—and their greatest hits, from Pepsi ad campaigns and CD packaging for Eminem to theatrical posters and the irresistible book jacket for James Frey ‘s A Million Little Pieces. The exhibition runs through Saturday, November 7, at the Visual Arts Gallery in New York City
