About This Item
After she moved to New York in 1958, Lavater was struck by American street advertising, and began to incorporate pictograms as linguistic elements in her designs. MoMA published her 'William Tell' as an accordion-form single-sheet lithograph in 1962. She, with support from her publisher Adrien Maeght, pursued this form throughout the remainder of her career, as evidenced in this treatment of the Sleeping Beauty tale.
Quite scarce: WorldCat lists only three copies (Zentralbibliothek Zürich; SUNY Buffalo; and UCLA). A single copy is recorded at auction since its publication.
