Hans Erni Prints and Multiples

Swiss, b. 1909

Hans Erni attended the Kunstgewerbeschule in Lucerne in 1927–28, which was followed by further stays in Paris and Berlin. In 1933–34, he joined the artist's group Abstraction-Création in Paris, where he also met artists like Hans Arp, Alexander Calder and Wassily Kandinsky. In the 1930–40s, Erni was very successful with fresco painting, a medium the artist deeply preferred because of its impact on society. In 1950, he created his first ceramic works and discovered lithography as another central technique of his future artistic output. In 1972, Erni set up his studio in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, but he continued to be active in Lucerne, where he was born and obtained personal museum spaces. He was awarded numerous prizes, including the UN Peace Medal Award. His works have been internationally exhibited, including shows in Chicago, New Delhi, Funabashi and Milan. Erni’s artistic output comprises, for instance, around 300 posters, numerous frescoes, around 200 illustrations for books, drawings and various designs for approximately 90 stamps.

Original 1987 Hans Erni Château Mouton Rothschild Poster, Pauillac

Original 1987 Hans Erni Château Mouton Rothschild Poster, Pauillac

By Hans Erni

Located in PARIS, FR

This elegant original poster reproduces the celebrated 1987 Château Mouton Rothschild label, created by the renowned Swiss artist Hans Erni for one of Bordeaux's most prestigious First Growth estates. Since 1945, Château Mouton Rothschild has invited leading international artists to create original artworks for each vintage label, establishing one of the most remarkable collaborations between the worlds of fine art and fine wine. Contributors to this legendary series include artists such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon, and Keith Haring. For the 1987 vintage, the commission was entrusted to Hans Erni (1909–2015), one of Switzerland's most celebrated twentieth-century artists. Known for his refined line work and humanist vision, Erni created a composition centered around the portrait of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, framed by stylized vines and clusters of grapes symbolizing the vineyard that he transformed into an international icon. The vintage holds exceptional historical significance within the history of the estate. The label bears the moving dedication written by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild: "À mon père, le Baron Philippe de Rothschild, rénovateur de Mouton, je dédie ce millésime de sa 65ème et dernière vendange." The inscription commemorates the 65th and final harvest overseen by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, who passed away in 1988 after more than six decades guiding the destiny of Mouton Rothschild and elevating the château to its legendary status within the world of wine. Another phrase appears beneath the dedication: "Mouton ne change." This echoes the estate's famous motto, coined after Mouton Rothschild finally obtained First Growth status in the Bordeaux Classification revision of 1973: "Premier je suis, second je fus, Mouton ne change." (First I am, second I was, Mouton does not change.) The poster therefore represents far more than a wine advertisement; it stands as a tribute to one of the most influential figures in modern Bordeaux history and marks the transition from Baron Philippe de Rothschild to his daughter Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, who would continue the family's stewardship of the estate for decades to come. Combining the prestige of Pauillac's First Growth Château Mouton Rothschild, the artistry of Hans Erni, and the emotional significance of a historic final vintage, this poster occupies a unique place at the intersection of fine art, wine history and twentieth-century French cultural heritage. Today, original Mouton Rothschild artist posters are highly sought after by collectors of wine memorabilia...

By Hans Erni

Located in Roma, IT

Countryside is a lithograph realized by Hans Erni, in the 1960s. Two men, seated side by side, probably refresh themselves in a moment of rest from work in the fields. 32x24 cm, no frame. Good conditions. Hans Erni (1909-2015) . He Undertook technical studies, but after his first encounter with art literature in 1927, he set out to study art in Lucerne. He studied in Berlin and Paris, where he had the opportunity to associate with artists who would mark his artistic evolution: Kandinsky, Mondrian, Brancusi, Calder and, in particular, Georges Braque and Picasso. The influence of the latter on his graphic trait was such as to earn him the nickname of Swiss Picasso. He followed a period of travel to Belgium, Italy and, in the late 1930s, London where he encountered abstract art. Here he frequented the painter Ben Nicholson and the sculptors Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, among the leading exponents of English abstract art. From 1930 to 1934 he worked under the pseudonym François Grèque. He was one of the founders of the abstract art group Allianz. In 1950 he made his first pottery. In the 1950s he worked for UNESCO and the World Health Organization. For the Principality of Liechtenstein he designed two series of stamps: "Winter Olympics" and "Summer Olympics". He also produced other sets of stamps for the United Nations and the Swiss Post, as well as numerous portraits of celebrities, such as Albert Einstein. On December 23, 1976, the Hans Erni Foundation was established which promotes exhibitions, conferences and other cultural events. since 1981 the foundation has supported the "Panta rei...
