Studio 54 metal memorabilia

1

This Metal Memorabilia was from a place or area close to what was known as Studio 54. Studio 54 was a super infamous disco clubs in the 70s and 80s where all the most famous A list celebrities at the time partied every night. The studio club opened April 26th, 1977. Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager were the ones who owned and thought of all the interior and putter design of the actual studio club with the help of both an architect and graphic designer. Those two people were Eugene De Rosa and Gilbert Lesser. Gilbert Lesser worked the most on movie poster and theatre design but had a very specific feel to his work using strong geometrical shapes and messing with shape. Gilbert produced other works like “Best Friend at Lyceum Theatre“ and “Poor Murder” which were two really infamous broadways posters of his. Lesser‘s work was very infamous and successful in terms of the audience it catered to. Despite how iconic the logo is both in color and in black and white not much is known about Gilbert Lesser and his work and much of his original work has still not been found. This piece has aged because there is wear and tear because of the materia but it is still for the most part in pretty good shape despite it. This disco club was known for how elaborate and wild and many people still are looking for Studio 54 memorabilia. I hope this just shines a light on Gilbert Lessers contributions to helping make the Studio 54 design be timeless and something we can learn from and also have a look back at the disco era and insanity that came with it.
