Next week, and for the first time, the most reputed names in advertising history are congregating in Manhattan. They include David Ogilvy, Phyllis Robinson, George Lois, Mary Wells Lawrence, and Shirley Polykoff.

And even if you can’t face most of them in the flesh, you get the chance to revisit the ads, posters, books, spots and interviews that made them memorable.

Real Men and Women of Madison Avenue: Their Impact on American Culture will be exhibited from June 24-September 26 at the Science, Industry and Business Library’s Healy Hall.

The exhibit covers the lives and work of copywriters and art directors that influenced buying habits in the past 80 years. The event is sponsored by the One Club, and we’ll be covering the debut early next week.

Hope to see you there. View a full description of Real Men and Women in Mad Ave. in the Adgabber Events calendar.

I’m 73 and the regrets I carry aren’t about the things I didn’t do — they’re about the version of myself I maintained for so long that the people closest to me spent their entire childhoods and marriages relating to a performance rather than a person, and I’m not sure how to account for that or whether accounting for it at this stage counts as enough

Psychology says the way someone reacts the very first time you say no to them tells you everything about whether they valued you as a person or simply valued what you were willing to give them
