Teresa Fasolino
Harvard University 350th Anniversary Celebration' 1986 Vintage

1986

About the Item

Original vintage poster designed by renowned American illustrator Teresa Fasolino for Harvard University's 350th Anniversary Celebration in 1986. Fasolino, known for her highly detailed, richly textured, and vibrantly colored illustrations, captures the essence of Harvard’s historic legacy with a visually engaging and sophisticated composition. The artwork presents a meticulously rendered Harvard Yard, showcasing the university’s iconic architecture, including red-brick buildings with white trim, framed by lush greenery. A dynamic autumnal palette suggests the start of a new academic year, symbolizing Harvard’s enduring tradition of excellence in education. The scene is animated with students and faculty, evoking the university's intellectual vibrancy and historic significance. Prominently featured at the top is the official Harvard insignia, elegantly incorporated into the design. The text, elegantly set, references the 350-year milestone (1636-1986), commemorating Harvard as the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. This poster stands as a testament to Fasolino’s talent in blending realism with a sense of warmth and nostalgia, making it a highly collectible piece for Harvard alumni, academic historians, and lovers of fine illustration. Printed in high-quality offset lithography, this piece remains a distinctive tribute to one of the world's most prestigious universities.

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.
