Jean-Michel Folon 'Amnesty International'-Vintage

1977

About the Item

This original poster by Jean-Michel Folon is part of the Artists for Amnesty series, a collection of art posters created by 15 world-renowned artists to highlight Amnesty International's Prisoners of Conscience Year 1977. The series was exhibited between February and March of 1977 in the Washington Place windows of New York University's Grey Art Gallery. Folon's image of a human-like figure flying like Icarus towards the sun can be seen as a powerful symbol of aspiration, freedom, and the human spirit's relentless pursuit of liberty. In the context of Amnesty International's Prisoners of Conscience Year, the image may represent the struggle for human rights and the fight against oppression. The figure's flight towards the sun symbolizes the hope and determination of individuals seeking freedom and justice, despite the risks and challenges they face.

Joseph Kosuth 'Zero & Not' Vintage
By Joseph Kosuth
Located in Brooklyn, NY
This first-edition exhibition poster was created for Joseph Kosuth’s solo show at Leo Castelli Gallery, held from May 17 to June 14, 1986. Kosuth, a leading figure in conceptual art, is known for challenging traditional notions of representation, meaning, and authorship in art. His work often employs language, definitions, and philosophical inquiry to explore the relationship between objects, words, and ideas. Kosuth was a frequent exhibitor at Castelli Gallery in the late 1980s, a period when he was refining his investigations into semiotics, linguistics, and the nature of art itself. His exhibitions often featured text-based works, neon installations, and philosophical references, reinforcing his belief that art exists as an idea rather than a physical object. The meaning of this exhibition—and by extension, the poster—likely aligns with Kosuth’s broader practice: art as intellectual engagement, where the work is not about aesthetics but about questioning how meaning is constructed. The exhibition poster serves as both an artifact and an extension of Kosuth’s conceptual framework, making it a historically significant piece for collectors interested in conceptual art and the role of Castelli Gallery in shaping contemporary discourse.
