The Architectural League of New York “ Beaux Arts Tour” poster

"This two-sided poster was created in conjunction with the Museum of Modern Art’s exhibition 'The Architecture of the Ecole des Beaux Art'. In order to illustrate the influence of the Ecole on American architects, the League took the occasion of the Museum’s show to produce a poster/map with walking tours of some of the key Beaux-Arts style buildings, monuments and public spaces in New York City, many of which were designed by early founders of the League such as Cass Gilbert, Thomas Hastings and Alexander B. Trowbridge. The black and white photograph is by Cervin Robinson and features Architect Cass Glbert’s US Customs House, part the Architectural League’s walking tour. Beyond this poster, the Vignellis had a long relationship with the Architectural League. The graphics for the Architectural League (including the logotype in Garamond) were designed by Vignelli Associates in the early 1970s. Massimo Vignelli served as Vice President of the League. In 2011, Massimo and Lella Vignelli were awarded their highest honor the President’s Medal, which recognizes 'extraordinary contributions to architecture and design.'"https://vignellicenter.tumblr.com/post/189761176032/vignelli-posterdisplay-archleague76
