Bond At MoMA
22nd September 2012
Goldfinger: The Design of an Iconic Film Title
October 5, 2012–March 31, 2013
The Museum of Modern Art,
11 West 53 Street New York, NY 10019
Architecture and Design Galleries,
third floor
This small focus installation features the first film title sequence
to enter MoMA’s collection as a design work in its own
right, along with related preparatory material. As memorable
as the film itself, the title sequence of Goldfinger (1964) captures
the sexual suggestiveness and wry humor of the James Bond mythos.
Scenes from the film are projected strategically onto starlet
Margaret Nolan, while minimal credit texts balance each shot.
It was designer and art director Robert Brownjohn (American,
1926–1970) who conceived, designed, and directed this sequence,
one of the best examples of title design used to produce a salient
film component, rather than a necessary afterthought. Brownjohn's
short but influential career integrated the fields of design,
advertising, film, photography and music. He moved in 1960 to
London, where he was at the epicenter of the burgeoning “swinging
'60s" scene. Brownjohn deployed type in dynamic, abstract
forms, in this case illustrating both his mastery of modern graphic
design and his ability to apply sophisticated graphic treatment
to popular media.

50 Years of James Bond
October 5–31, 2012
The Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street New York, NY 10019
In 1987, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the release
of Dr. No (1962), producer Albert R. “Cubby” Broccoli
donated newly made 35mm prints of all 14 Broccoli-produced James
Bond feature films to The Museum of Modern Art. With this extraordinary
gift came a promise to provide MoMA with a new 35mm print of
each subsequent Bond film. To date, this collection has grown
to 22 films—all of the James Bond films produced by Eon
Productions—and since his passing in 1996, “Cubby” Broccoli’s
daughter Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have generously
continued this tradition. In celebration of the 50th anniversary
of Dr. No and the extraordinary open-ended donation from Albert
R. Broccoli, Barbara Broccoli, and Michael G. Wilson, MoMA presents
all 22 films in its James Bond collection. Click
