The grandfathers of modernism, Wim Crouwel and Massimo Vignelli graced the AIGA/NY chapter on Thursday 25 October, with anecdotes of their personal lives their careers as designers--for them, one in the same. Each spoke about several projects selected by Alice Twemlow, chair of the MFA Design Criticism program at SVA, who moderated this historical evening. In fact, this is the first time that Wim Crouwel has spoken in New York since 1965.
