The Wilde Years – 40 years and counting

Richard Wilde, chair of the BFA Advertising and Graphic Design program here at SVA, recently passed the 40 year mark of his service to SVA and its students. In honor of his decades of tutelage, a show of work by just a few of his thousands of his former students is now on display at the Visual Arts Gallery through November 7, 2009: The Wilde Years: Four Decades of Shaping Visual Culture.

Steven Heller, chair of SVA’s MFA Design program and prolific design critic/blogger, interviewed Wilde about his career for Print Magazine.

The Visual Arts Library has several books by Wilde, including his classic, Visual Literacy (Call #: NC845 .W55), based on his course of the same name.
