about Melting Pot Flag

This 1989 silkscreen was based upon a 1976 original collage, which is now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.

The piece incorporates typesets and torn pages from vintage newspapers in multiple languages, including El Diario, the New York Post, the New York Times, Il Progresso, Novoe Russkoe Slovo, etc. It was created by Vignelli in 1976 for the US bicentennial and printed later in 1989. It is pencil numbered from the limited edition of 300.
