An Exhibition at the 41 Cooper Gallery
From restaurants and supermarket aisles to the corner store, there is an inherent relationship between graphic design and food. “Appetite,” an innovative exhibition at 41 Cooper Gallery curated by the Herb Lubalin Study Center at The Cooper Union, explores the role and influence of design in the food industry.

By charting the current landscape of where and how we encounter food-related design in New York City, “Appetite” illustrates the ubiquitous presence of the designer in food packaging, store and restaurant branding, cookbooks, magazines, menus and other objects—both historic and contemporary.
