Eye for Design  tells a story of MAD’s distinctive exhibition program in the 1960s and 1970s, which embraced an expansive definition of craft, including forms of creative practice and sensory experiences that remain unorthodox in the art world today. The examples gathered here—drawn primarily from MAD’s archive or that of the American Craft Council—were designed by many American and international graphic artists, including Emil Antonucci, John J. Reiss, and Linda Hinrichs.

Eye for Design is organized by MAD’s Windgate Research and Collections Curator Elissa Auther and Assistant Curator Samantha De Tillio.

Support for Eye for Design is provided by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, the Official Airline of MAD.
