Overview

The artist poster is an anachronistic phenomenon in our digital world marked by social media and online forums. It experienced heydays in the eras of Art Nouveau, classical modernism, and Pop Art. Despite the digital media, however, posters have been designed by nearly every major artist to this day. Among these artists is Franz Erhard Walther, who for more than six decades has enriched this genre with over one hundred poster designs. For the artist's eightieth birthday, this extensive oeuvre will be brought together in one catalogue raisonné, together with a comprehensive overview of his drafts and artist books. Scholarly essays provide well-founded insight into the extraordinary and remarkable holism of Franz Erhard Walther's artistic approach.

Reviews
