Bob Gill is a designer, an illustrator, a filmmaker,
a copywriter, and a teacher.
After freelancing in New York, he went to London
on a whim in 1960, and stayed 15 years. He started
Fletcher/Forbes/Gill, a design office with the two
brightest designers in England.
F/F/G began with two assistants and a secretary.
Today, it’s called Pentagram, with offices all over,
except Tibet.
Gill resigned in 1967 to work independently in
London. He returned to New York in 1975 to write
and design Beatlemania, a live and multimedia
history of the sixties for Broadway, with the
painter, Robert Rabinowitz.
Gill is still working independently, and still
teaching. He’s had one-man shows in Europe,
South America, and the U.S.
He was elected into the New York Art Directors Hall
of Fame, and the Design and Art Directors
Association of London presented him with its
Lifetime Achievement Award.
He’s now living in New York with his wife, Public
Radio’s Sara Fishko, their son, Jack, and their
daughter, Kate.
