From book jackets and LP covers to ad posters and soup cans, Glaser has designed them all. In the introduction of his showcase, Art Is Work, which outlines Glaser's career over the past quarter century, he suggests that we substitute the word work for the word art , in order to "restore art to a central, useful activity in daily life." By subverting commonplace words, objects, and symbols in his own work, Glaser has accomplished that goal. For example, his highly recognized I [love] NY ad campaign turned T-shirts and bumper stickers into a mass of moving canvases.

Glaser has been the subject of many interviews, tributes, and retrospectives. His innovative works have been featured in numerous museums and galleries.
