This week marked the end of Quicktake: Stamps of Approval, an exhibit at the Cooper-Hewitt in New York. Quicktake features the work of American industrial designers recognized by the U.S. Postal Service in a new series of Forever stamps. The stamps commemorate 12 pioneers of American industrial design whose designs helped shaped the look of everyday life in the 20th century.

The installation included nine objects from the collection of George R. Kravis II and a related design drawing from the museum’s Drawings, Prints and Graphic Design department. For those who missed it, not to worry: the exhibit is hitting the road. And American collectors can buy the stamps at their local post office, or online here.
