Museum Analytics. The Wallpaper* 150 | Art. The 150 movers, shakers and makers that have rocked the Wallpaper* world in the last 15 years So here they are, the 150 people who have come into all our lives over the 15 years since the first Wallpaper* issue and made something that matters to us better, more interesting, or more fun. But, in a Wallpaper* first, these aren’t just our choices. Through the wonders of the Twittersphere, we shot a number of our suggestions out there to provoke debate and input into our great name-checking project. And you came back in numbers and with a lot to say. So this list is, we like to think, the collective hip hip hoorays of the big, happy Wallpaper* family. It’s also worth mentioning, before you get upset that (insert fave designer here) isn’t in the list, there were a couple of crucial criteria used when putting this list together.
It’s been a close call in many cases, and while our panel and researchers have been forensic in their deliberations, we’d like to throw it back to you one last time. What a stupid world. Noma Bar's Guess Who?: Minimalist Portraits of Cultural Icons. By Maria Popova What Shakespeare’s unanswered questions have to do with Einstein’s unkempt hair and Britpop. Israeli illustrator Noma Bar, he of Negative Space fame, is a longtime Brain Pickings favorite. Turns out, our friends at Mark Batty (previously) have had a soft spot for him for a while as well. In 2007, they released a fantastic volume of Bar’s most iconic negative space portraits of cultural icons. The book is divided into four parts — Cultural Icons, Hollywood Heads, Political Figures, Britpop Stars, and The Musicians — with an introduction by Steven Heller.

This is a web version of Aspen, a multimedia magazine of the arts published by Phyllis Johnson from 1965 to 1971. Each issue came in a customized box filled with booklets, phonograph recordings, posters, postcards — one issue even included a spool of Super-8 movie film.
It's all here. About Aspen Aspen was conceived by Phyllis Johnson, a former editor for Women's Wear Daily and Advertising Age. Each issue had a new designer and editor. If Aspen was an art director's dream, it was also an advertiser's nightmare. Perhaps Aspen was a folly, but it was a vastly pleasurable one, with a significant place in art history. About the phonograph recordings Almost every issue of Aspen included at least one phonograph recording.
The recordings can be divided into six categories: spoken word recordings, electronic music, classical music, psychedelic music, jazz music, and avant-pop music. SPOKEN WORD: 9 artists, 14 recordings. ELECTRONIC: 6 artists, 6 recordings. PSYCHEDELIC: 3 artists, 3 recordings.
