Conceived in 1957 by Push Pin Studios as a freeform publication sent to friends and clients, the experimental and groundbreaking Push Pin Graphic, quickly developed a dedicated following, eventually running for 23 years and 86 issues. Changing to a 32-page bimonthly in 1976, and continuing publication until 1980. 

Art directed and designed by Seymor Chwast, the featured articles and fiction edited by Ken Robbins supported the theme for each issue. Illustrations by Chwast, as well as the work of other award-winning Push Pine illustrators, appeared in every issue of Push Pin Graphic. 

Push Pin Studios was founded in 1954 by Seymour Chwast, Milton Glaser, and Edward Sorel (Reynold Ruffins joined the group shortly thereafter). A revolutionary force in the field of graphic design, the celebrated partnership began when the foursome met as students at the Cooper Union in New York City. What followed was twenty years of collaborative graphic expression, as Push Pin redefined and expanded the imprimatur of the designer, illustrator, and visual culture at large.
