American Folk Blues Festival Poster Gunther Kieser
About the Item
Gunther Kieser American folk blues festival poster, 1969
Keiser's poster for the annual Hamburg festival devoted to American folk blues featuring a compelling pictorial of a well-worn acoustic guitar. Here, the instrument seems to be playing itself with the equally well-worn hands of a black woman. Names of featured acts are superimposed on the guitar image in type like so many familiar scratches.
Offset lithograph, 1969
Measures: 33 x 47 inches.
Minor signs of handling; otherwise very good condition for its age
1st printing, 1969.
Günther Kieser is one of Germany’s most important graphic designers—he was the go-to man for music posters in the 1960s, from Jimi Hendrix to the Grateful Dead and The Who. The retired, 87-year-old designer has never had a retrospective, until now. His poster designs were notably featured in MoMa's 1988. A retrospective entitled “Kieser, Posters” recently opened at the Bröhan Museum in Berlin in 2017.
