New York: Avant Garde, 1969. Special Issue (Number 8). Wraps. Good. Geoffrey H. Clements (Art Photography). Format is approximately 11.25 inches by 11.25 inches. Unpaginated (60 pages plus covers). Illustrations. Avant Garde was a magazine notable for graphic and logogram design by Herb Lubalin. The magazine had 14 issues and was published from January 1968 to July 1971. The magazine was based in New York City. From January 1968 through July 1971, Ginzburg published Avant Garde.

This issue of Avant-Garde is devoted… Read More
