At the time, I hadn't realised that the group went to other places too, as I read the brief that was given to them and I only saw the Kemistry Gallery info. Due to this, I was quite surprised at how dinky it was. I was expecting something grand. This did turn out to be quite grand in its own funny little way!
As I'm sure everyone was, I was instantly drawn to a specific work of art. There was a rather large creation by a designer called Lou Dorfsman. With the help of Typographers, Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase, they mapped out an array of different typefaces, spelling out the food being sold in the CBS cafeteria which is where it was designed to be hung. A guy called Stanely Glaubach cut them out of wood and sprayed them white. Kitchen objects were created by Nick Fasciano and John Alcorn. These were added to create the desired look.
When I say rather large, it was originally 40 ft long! They cut it down to size in order to exhibit it.
I was absolutely amazed by this piece of work. The amount of effort that must have gone into creating a masterpiece like is unthinkable. I come back to the point of precision. It looks like it was created with an outstanding level of care and attention to detail. We can all learn from this phenomenal work of art. Most of the time, effort breeds success.
