Alvar Aalto – Original Swiss Vintage Exhibition Poster

1983

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.
