The posters are so highly regarded as exceptional examples of graphic design and pop art that the collection is now a permanent part of MoMA. Reproductions of some of the posters are available through the MoMA Store here. Other of his posters can be found at several other museums and art institutions such as at SFMoMA, The Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt Design Museum and The Denver Art Museum.
