All Rights Reserved. Director’s Welcome For me, Bard Graduate Center’s Quarter-Century Celebration this year was, at its heart, a tribute to our alumni. From our first, astonishing incoming class to our most recent one (which, in a first for BGC, I met over Zoom), our students are what I am most proud of. That first class put their trust in a fledgling institution that burst upon the academic art world to rectify an as-yet-undiagnosed need for a place to train the next generation of professional students of objects. Those beginning their journey this fall now put their trust in an established leader who they expect will prepare them to join a vital field of study, whether in the university, museum, or market. What a difference a generation makes! I am also intensely proud of how seriously BGC takes its obligation to develop next-generation scholarship in decorative arts, design his- tory, and material culture. -

08 Annual Report
08 ANNUAL REPORT from the director | 08 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, 2008 was a monumental year for the Museum of Arts and Design. On June 2nd, we closed our doors on West 53rd Street forever. A gathering that evening brought Board of Trustees members, staff, and friends together to celebrate our achievements in that space—and to look forward to the opening of the Museum’s new home in late September. A flurry of activity—starting with a media preview and continuing through the Mayor’s cutting of the ribbon surrounding 2 Columbus Circle to a grand free public art festival on the weekend of September 27—heralded the opening of the newest, and most enthusiastically embraced, cultural institution in New York City. You will read, elsewhere in this report, of the 10,000 people who stood outside 2 Columbus Circle opening weekend to be the first into the new Museum; of the open studios, where for the first time in New York City artists in our field came together with the museum-going public to discuss and show their work in process; of the educational programs which have brought thousands of children, teachers, and families to the center of Manhattan to learn by doing. You’ll read of the technological advances in the new Museum; of the remarkable new public and retail spaces; and of Holly Hotchner the thousands of people who joined the Museum as members in its first three months Nanette L. Laitman Director on Columbus Circle. You’ll read the story of how a small museum—the brainchild of one remarkable woman, Aileen Osborne Webb—grew into the nation’s premier destination for the study of contemporary craft, arts, and design. -
New Typography in Scandinavia 2 in the Design Histories of Kjetil Fallan and Julia Meer.2 Titled
New Ty pog raphy in Scandinavia: Domesticating theory and practice amongst the graphic trades, 1927–43 Trond Klevgaard A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Royal College of Art for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The Royal College of Art / Victoria and Albert Museum 22 December 2017 79,976 words ii Copyright statement This text represents the submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Royal College of Art. This copy has been supplied for the purpose of research for private study, on the understanding that it is copyright material, and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. iii Abstract This work provides the first extended account of New Typography’s path in Scandinavian countries, a topic which has yet to receive attention beyond a handful of articles and book chapters. Based on an exhaustive study of graphic trade journals published in Denmark, Norway and Sweden between the years of 1927 and 1943, it charts debate on New Typography and discusses the journals’ changing designs. Additional visual material has been sourced from a number of Scandinavian archives. In discussing the spread of New Typography’s theory and aesthetic from elsewhere in Europe, and then primarily from Germany, the thesis uses the concepts of domestication and networks, rather than those of diffusion or influence and centre–periphery. Dealing with a period in which the graphic designer had yet to appear as a professional figure, New Typography’s impact on a range of professional groups — all of which held responsibility for the design of graphic materials — is considered. -
