 Critic Hilton Kramer's review in The Times, described the exhibit as consisting of 300 posters from the period from 1879 to 1967, chosen by Constantine based on their "esthetic merit," though Kramer felt that the exhibit could not explain the late-1960s poster fad whose psychedelic designs he believed were no match for the graphic masterpieces of earlier days.Constantine died at age 95 on December 10, 2008 of heart failure in her home in Nyack, New York.Constantine also curated and wrote about textiles.
