Making History / Making Art / MICA

Author: Douglas L. Frost

MICA's nearly two-century history is told through 336 pages of flowing narrative and more than 450 images, representing 1826 through 2010. Opening essays for Making History / Making Art / MICA have been written by Baltimore Museum of Art Director Doreen Bolger, 1976 alumnus Jeff Koons, long time MICA President Fred Lazarus, and Walters Art Museum Director Gary Vikan.

Hundreds of alumni, faculty, trustees, staff, and friends provided invaluable information, recollections, memorabilia, and encouragement for the project.

The oversized (12.5 inches by 9.5 inches), full-color, hard cover, Smyth-bound book--an artwork in itself--was designed by Pentagram, namely faculty member Abbott Miller and Jeremy Hoffman '00 (graphic design).
