About the Item
Original Vintage Poster, issued 1983 by the ETH in Zurich on the occasion of the exhibition of Alvar Aalto's architectural work that first was shown in Finland at the Museum of Finnish Architecture in Helsinki.
Pictured is Aalto's sketch for the town hall in Kiruna/S (1958; not executed) and the floor plan of the first level of the cultural center in Wolfsburg/D.
The print run of the posters issued by the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich or rather its department GTA (Institut für Geschichte und Theorie der Architektur) on the occasion of their exhibition series was very small. According to the at that time responsible employee rather 50 then 100.

- Pool Boy Ripples, Figurative Print, Pool House Art, David Hockney Style ArtBy Gavin DobsonLocated in Deddington, GBThird in the popular Pool boy series. Celebrating summer, positivity and the male form. Pool boy ripples is a CMYK screen print with beautiful spot layer for the simple pool ripples. Additional information: Pool Boy Ripples By Gavin Dobson [2021] Limited edition Handmade CYMK screen print Edition number 40 Complete Size of Unframed Work: H:50 cm x W:35 cm x D:0.1cm Sold Unframed Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look ARTIST BIO: Originally from the North East of England, Gavin graduated in Fine art in 2000, and has been building his portfolio as an artist specialising in painting and screen printing - often combining the two, which helps communicate his chosen narrative. Gavin uses both vivid colours and expressive strokes to create engaging and lively pieces - his recent painting series ‘Landscapes of the Mind’ used the fluidity and movement of the paint to convey how an environment can effect ones state of thinking. Alongside his painting, Gavin is an established screen-printer exhibiting at many galleries across the U.K. and with new clients in New York his international profile is starting to expand. A regular at the Affordable Arts Fair, Gavin was one of 20 artists chosen to work alongside Film Four for an exhibition at Somerset House. His screen-prints often depict colourful, nostalgic images. Iconic designs which are humorous ornamentation and invite an opening for conversation. Gavin takes an original painting and creates many separate layers of half tones to screen-print by hand the final piece. Using this method he captures many textures and depths of colour within a piece of work. He recently designed and created a piece of work for the charity Help Refugee's 'Choose Love' campaign in conjunction with Printclub and the celebrated designer Katharine Hamnett, highlighting the current plight of refugees. Gavin's ongoing dedication has led to various interviews surrounding his work and being featured in The Times by the art critic, Nancy Durrant, as part of her great art gift guide...Category
