Yolanda Cuomo Biography

Yolanda Cuomo is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on June 7, 1957 in Jersey City, New Jersey, United States. Yolanda Cuomo was born June 7, 1957. She is an American artist and educator. Cuomo has collaborated with Magnum Photos and Aperture on numerous books and exhibitions since the mid-1980s.

Laurie Simmons asked Cuomo to design a book featuring her photographs from the series In and Around the House in 1983 while she was working at the Movies. Cuomo worked closely with Alexander Liberman as Associate Art Director of Vanity Fair in the 1980s. Avedon quickly hired Cuomo as an art director to direct advertising campaigns for Christian Dior and Coco Chanel. Cuomo would later collaborate with Avedon, Israel and Twyla Tharp as choreographers on a poster for Twyla Tharp dance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Marvin Israel, Cuomo’s mentor, died while Cuomo was working on Richard Avedon’s exhibition, In the American West, in Dallas in May 1984.

Toward the end of 1986 Cuomo founded her own studio, Yolanda Cuomo Design, on Lafayette Street. During this time, Cuomo continued working with Richard Avedon as art director for a Revlon ad campaign. The new studio’s first commercial project was a collaboration with Laurie Simmons. Together they produced Waterballet/Family Collision, bound with a lenticular 3D cover. The book was designed to be “spit-proof” because Simmons’s daughter, Lena Dunham, had just been born. The studio’s next project involved the design of a slipcase for a book of Andy Warhol’s cat drawings. Geraldine Stutz, who had helped launch Warhol’s career while Vice President at I. Miller Shoes, asked Cuomo to design a book of pre-Pop Warhol drawings and ephemera. Pre Pop Warhol was published by Stutz’s imprint at Random House, Panache Press, winning the Art Directors Club’s 68th annual award for best book of the year.

In 1987 Cuomo was hired as the creative consultant for Parents (1989), a black comedy horror film set in the 1950s suburban America, directed by Bob Balaban and written by Christopher Hawthorne. Cuomo researched and designed the sets and titles, hiring Philip-Lorca diCorcia to photograph the sets. The film opened to mediocre reviews and poor box office attendance, however, reviewers took note of the production’s attention to detail. In the New York Times, Caryn James remarked on the film’s “authentically garish costumes and sets.”

Cuomo has been teaching courses in graphic design and bookmaking at the School of Visual Arts since 1982, when she began her career. She taught graphic design at Parsons School of Design in the 1980s. Cuomo was a graduate photographer at SVA in the late 1990s. Cuomo has been an adjunct professor of design at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts for the Department of Photography and Imaging since 1996.

Avedon was Avedon’s contact in the 1980s when Paul Simon needed someone to help him with photography. Avedon introduced Simon and Cuomo to each other, and they began to work together on the design and art direction of Simon’s album, The Rhythm of the Saints (1990). Cuomo created the packaging after searching through the Magnum Photos archives. He used photographs by Miguel Rio Branco on the front cover, and Rene Burri on the back. The Rhythm of the Saints became a huge commercial success immediately after its release. It sold more than 2 million copies, was double platinum in the United States, and platinum in the United Kingdom, Canada and earned two Grammy nominations.

Cuomo graduated from Cooper Union and began his career as an assistant designer at Mademoiselle magazine. This was in 1980. Paula Greif, Mademoiselle’s Art Director introduced Cuomo and Marvin Israel to the young designer. Israel and Cuomo created a poster to celebrate the visionary work Alexey Brodovitch in their first collaboration. This was for a retrospective exhibition at Paris’ Grand Palais. Cuomo was hired by Israel as the Art Director for Movies magazine. Here she worked with many of the photographers that would shape her career. Cuomo met Richard Avedon and Gilles Peress through Israel. She also had the opportunity to work with Sylvia Plachy (Hiro), Neil Selkirk, and Deborah Turbeville.

In 1985 the Village Voice hired Cuomo as the Art Director for VUE (called View for the first issue), their new fashion magazine. During VUE’s short life of six issues, Cuomo hired photographers, including Nan Goldin, Larry Fink, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Gilles Peress, Richard Corman, Amy Arbus, Michael Spano, Lynn Davis, Ellen Carey, Jeremiah Dine, William Wegman, and Sylvia Plachy, to photograph fashion spreads. While on assignment for VUE, photographers were given total creative freedom. For one assignment, Nan Goldin photographed a pregnant female body builder at a Russian bath in New York City’s East Village. The image was eventually included in Goldin’s book The Ballad of Sexual Dependency. VUE’s unconventional approach to fashion content was polarizing, which earned praise but also scorn. Radio personality Howard Stern called VUE “disgusting” after seeing Goldin’s photographs. David Schneiderman, publisher and editor-in-chief of the Voice, said, “An executive from one major store, whose goods grace another model in the spread, found the ladies in lace ‘shocking’… I knew the magazine would be controversial, but we’ve built a profitable business here in the last thirty years being controversial.” In fall 1986, the Village Voice dissolved VUE.

Here Is New York (2001) was a crowd-sourced exhibition and book of photographs spontaneously conceived and organized by Alice Rose George, Gilles Peress, Michael Shulman, and Charles Traub, in response to the attacks of September

11. Within two days of the attacks, messages and photographs taped to the window of 116 Prince Street inspired an exhibition, as Michael Shulman notes in the book’s essay, “as broad and inclusive as possible, open to ‘anybody and everybody’: not just photojournalists and other professional photographers, but bankers, rescue workers, artists and children—amateurs of every stripe.” In this spirit, Cuomo and Peress designed the book not “to showcase the ‘best’ or ‘strongest’ images, but to give the most coherent sense of the whole.” The proceeds from the sale of Here Is New York were donated to the Children’s Aid Society to benefit the families of victims of the attacks.
