About the Item

Here is a very rare and desirable vintage exhibition poster from the Finnish Designer Alvar Aalto. The image presented a drawing detail of a stool by Alvar Aalto for the exhibition 'Seven Buidlings'. The exhibition took place from 16.5 - 16.8 - 1998. Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (1898 – 1976) was the best-known Finnish architect of his generation. His work includes architecture, furniture, textiles, and glassware, as well as sculptures and paintings. However, he never regarded himself as an artist, seeing painting and sculpture as “branches of the tree whose trunk is architecture.” Aalto’s early career ran parallel with Finland’s rapid economic growth and industrialization during the first half of the 20th century. Many of his clients were industrialists. His buildings, such as the Paimio Sanatorium (1933), the legendary Villa Mairea (1939), and the church of the Three Crosses in Vuoksenniska (1958), embody a masterful interplay of organic volumes, forms, and materials.
