Instituto Cervantes New York has the pleasure to host the exhibition of one of the most influential graphic designers of the 20th century, Victor Moscoso. Born in Spain, he moved to the United States at an early age. “Moscoso Cosmos. The Visual Universe of Victor Moscoso” brings a wide selection of his work such as the series of psychedelic posters that he designed in just 8 months between 1966 and 1967 and 14 numbers of the underground magazine Zap Comix, published since 1968 for more than 40 years.
On the occasion of the opening of the exhibition, a talk with Victor Moscoso himself will take place along with art critic Steven Heller where the relevance of Moscoso's work in the world of graphic design and art will be delved into.
Along with the exhibition a book will be published under the art direction of Victor Moscoso. The book includes an introduction by New York art critic Steven Heller and a bibliographical essay by David Carballal, the exhibition curator, written after a series of long interviews that he held with the artist. It is the most extensive monograph on Victor Moscoso up to today, with about 200 images -including catalogue, doumented works and bibliographic pictures.
