Contemporary posters are published by museums, galleries, or the artist themselves to commemorate an event such as an exhibition, a music festival, or a product advertising campaign. Museum pieces and advertising series in our collection include: Calder - Flying Colors created by Alexander Calder for Banif Airlines, Lautrec - Poster Classics authenticated by the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum in Albi France, and Wine Art which is a poster series that advertises California wines.

Turn of the century original classic posters from the late 19^th Century, once posted on street signboards to advertise goods and theater events, are prized collector items. These images were among the first that define "art poster" as a form of graphic art. These posters, marked by highly stylized compositions that integrate text and image, were created by painters including Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec, and lesser known excellent artists. Their world of color, imagery, forms, messages, and fascinating mediums of expression, are works of legitimate art in their own right, and sell for prices ranging from hundreds of dollars to may thousands of dollars.

Lautrec159

Toulouse-de Lautrec. Divan Japonais. Lithograph. Limited Edition 1895 Replica Poster. The paper size is 31"x 34". This piece was acquired in 1985. Originally executed in 1893, this poster was designed to accompany the opening of a cafe concert (The Divan Japonais) in the rue des Martyrs. The print depicts Jane Avril, a model, seated at the edge of the orchestra pit which was used as the bar. She is made up in the Japonais fashion, her face thick with pancake makeup. The chanteuse, whose head has been left out of the picture, is Yvette Guilbert, identifiable by the long black gloves, a standard part of her costume. Despite the success of the poster, which some consider one of Lautrec's most successful, the cafe-concert closed shortly after it opened. Color is brilliant and the texture of the piece is lush.
