About the Item

This original 1991 exhibition poster, designed by renowned Belgian artist Pierre Alechinsky, was created for the Chicago International Art Exposition, held from May 9 to 14 at Donnelly Hall. The Chicago International Art Expo was one of the leading contemporary art fairs of its time, attracting major galleries, collectors, and artists from around the world. Alechinsky’s dynamic composition features his signature expressive, gestural line work, combined with a fluid, almost calligraphic energy. The border of the poster, filled with whimsical and abstract fish-like forms, wraps around a soft gradient background where the exhibition details are printed. The piece exudes movement, spontaneity, and a sense of organic flow, hallmarks of Alechinsky’s distinct visual language. As a member of the CoBrA movement, Alechinsky’s work is deeply rooted in abstract expressionism, surrealism, and automatism. His playful yet intense use of line and form invites the viewer into a dreamlike, almost mythical world. This original 1991 poster serves as both a vintage collectible and a testament to Alechinsky’s lasting impact on contemporary art. It embodies the spirit of the Chicago International Art Exposition, a landmark event in the global art scene.

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...
