About the Item
This striking original 1976 poster by renowned Israeli designer Dan Reisinger was created for the Sixième Concours International de Harpe (Sixth International Harp Contest), held in Israel in September of that year. A masterwork of mid-1970s modernist graphic design, the poster exemplifies Reisinger’s bold, experimental approach to typography and abstract form, while commemorating one of the world's most prestigious harp competitions.
Founded in 1959, the International Harp Contest in Israel was the first of its kind, drawing top talents from across the globe. By the 1970s, the contest had established itself as a premier cultural event in the classical music world, and Reisinger’s visual identity for the 1976 edition reflects the forward-thinking internationalism of both the contest and the young Israeli state.
Set against a stark black background, Reisinger’s design reimagines the form of a harp through vertically staggered white and gray bars, creating a dynamic illusion of movement and rhythm. Interspersed within the pattern are red and black accents, introducing subtle dissonance and tension, reminiscent of both music and modern visual abstraction. The structure echoes musical notation and digital forms, merging tradition with innovation.
Typography is rendered in three languages—Hebrew, English, and French—a nod to the multiculturalism of the contest’s participants and audience. The refined sans-serif type, placed in the upper-right quadrant in red and blue ink, brings a clean visual balance to the dynamic central composition. Reisinger’s signature appears discreetly in the bottom right corner, underscoring the artist’s involvement in a growing canon of global modernist poster design.
Dan Reisinger (1934–2019), one of Israel’s most important graphic artists, was celebrated for his pioneering visual language that merged Bauhaus principles with Israeli, Eastern European, and Middle Eastern aesthetics. His works are held in major collections, including the MoMA and the Israel Museum. This poster is an outstanding example of his graphic rigor and imaginative typographic expression.
Highly sought after by collectors of modernist poster design, Israeli cultural history, and music ephemera, this piece is rare, historically significant, and visually powerful. It stands not only as an announcement of a world-class musical event, but also as a bold declaration of the role of design in shaping the cultural identity of a nation.

1982 vintage poster by Razzia for the Paris Posters exhibition
By Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix–Dénériaz)
Located in PARIS, FR
This striking 1982 vintage poster, designed by Razzia, was created to promote the Paris Posters exhibition at the Musée de l’Affiche et de la Publicité during the summer (Été 82). Featuring a bold and graphic collage-style composition, the artwork embodies the dynamic energy of 1980s design.
Razzia, a renowned French graphic artist, is celebrated for his iconic Art Deco-inspired poster designs with a modern twist. In this piece, he juxtaposes a stylized black-and-white Eiffel Tower, a monochrome portrait of a woman, and an accordion transformed into the Arc de Triomphe, all set against a dramatic black background with vivid color accents.
The use of cutout-style imagery and neon-inspired typography reflects the postmodern aesthetic of the early 1980s, capturing the bold creativity of the era. The vibrant contrast of yellow, red, and blue highlights adds to the poster’s visual impact, making it a standout example of contemporary French graphic design.
A rare and collectible piece, this original Razzia poster...
