Drawing, Temple of Nuclear Waste, Front Side
This is a Drawing. It was designed by Dan Friedman. It is dated ca. 1985 and we acquired it in 1997. Its medium is black and color marking pens, graphite, white and blue crayon on tracing paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Dan Friedman helped define the postmodern design movement in the United States before dying from AIDS-related complications in 1995. His practice evolved beyond graphics in the 1980s to include furniture, lighting, interior and fashion design, often transforming industrial and familiar objects through patterns and collage. Friedman’s many iterations of screen designs illustrate his development as a designer, creating purpose-driven works that are practical yet layered with profane, political, and humorous meaning.
