{"value"=>"<p>The Art and Design Series holds items related to the artistic and visual elements of Reed's career. The series includes album artwork; book layout and design files; calendars; in-store album display photographs; a <span class=\"title\">Metal Machine Music</span> installation design; postcards and handbills; posters; promotional items; and shirts.</p> <p>Included in the albums are LP and CD covers, and a small amount of proofs and prototypes for <span class=\"title\">Magic and Loss</span> and <span class=\"title\">Ecstasy</span>. There are additional proofs present for Reed's books, including <span class=\"title\">Between Thought and Expression</span>, <span class=\"title\">Emotions in Action</span>, <span class=\"title\">Pass Through Fire</span>, <span class=\"title\">The Raven</span>, <span class=\"title\">Romanticism</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Berlin</span>, which was done in collaboration with Julian Schnabel.</p> <p>The In-Store Album Displays files include photographs of the <span class=\"title\">New York</span> and <span class=\"title\">Songs for Drella</span> albums depicted in record stores all over the United States. The images were arranged and sent to Reed by the record company to showcase the manner in which store merchandisers displayed Reed's albums. These photographs also portray posters and merchandise related to the albums' promotion. Most pictures are captioned with a date, location, and store name, and are typically arranged by geographic region. These files not only serve as a means to illustrate the manner in which Reed's albums were promoted and displayed, but also serve as a document of many American record stores between 1989 and 1990.</p> <p>Postcards and Handbills are arranged chronologically, as are the Posters. They feature small and large-scale prints to promote Reed's albums, appearances, concerts, exhibitions, and performances. These items include a selection of Velvet Underground shows from the 1960s, Reed's solo career, the 1993 Velvet Underground reunion, and advertisements for items Reed endorsed. Of special interest are three banners from the 2010 Coney Island Mermaid Parade. The banners were painted by the artist Marie Roberts, and depict Reed as King Neptune, Laurie Anderson as Queen Mermaid, and their dog, Lola Belle as the Royal Mer-Dog.</p> <p>The series also holds a few shirts promoting Reed's albums and tours. Included are shirts for <span class=\"title\">New Sensations</span>, <span class=\"title\">Mistrial</span>, <span class=\"title\">New York</span>, <span class=\"title\">Set the Twilight Reeling</span>, and <span class=\"title\">NYC Man</span>.</p>"}
