About the Item
Striking and instantly recognizable, Gretchen is an original poster designed and created by Robert Longo as part of his iconic Men in the Cities series. Published in 1991 in collaboration with ACT UP and Amnesty International, this poster merges Longo’s signature high-contrast, contorted figure style with a powerful social conscience.
Rendered in bold black and white, Gretchen captures a moment of dramatic, almost balletic motion—an image at once stylish, raw, and politically charged. Longo's Men in the Cities works were emblematic of 1980s and early ’90s urban culture, portraying sharply dressed figures caught in mysterious, almost violent gestures—interpreted as a reflection on emotional tension, social pressure, and human resistance.
This original poster is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece tied not only to Longo’s celebrated body of work but also to important advocacy efforts of the era. A collectible with both aesthetic and historical resonance.
