Last Tuesday, MoMA Design curated a show of the work of Alvin Lustig guided by his widow Elaine Lustig-Cohen to celebrate the Chronicle Books publication of Born Modern: The Life and Design of Alvin Lustig co-authored by Steven Heller. Mr. Heller was in attendance and gave a rapt account of the show for Imprint Magazine.  The show was divided into two parts, architectural and cover designs.  Editor Michael Barron shot a lengthy 18-minute video of Ms. Lustig-Cohen’s entire cover design walkthrough, complete with histories and anecdotes, that spans well past New Directions.
