Stunning poster on yellow paper for the exhibition, “Champions,” Feb 17 - Mar 23, 1984 at The Contemporary Art Center of Cleveland.

The seminal group show featured works by James Brown, Ronnie Curtone, Brett De Palma, Dan Friedman, Futura 2000, Keith Haring, & Kenny Scharf. The exhibition in Cleveland presented young artists from the burgeoning graffiti and comic book scene. The Contemporary Art Center (today MOCA - Museum of Contemporary art), has been exhibiting contemporary art since it was founded in the late 1960s.

Many of the leading 20th century artists enjoyed designing their own exhibition posters, often in the form of original screen prints and lithographs printed by some of the great Parisian print ateliers such as the Mourlot Frères studio. Limited edition prints by the same world-renowned artists can often fetch around 10 times the price, making posters an incredibly affordable way of owning an original slice of art history.

Posters designed to advertise galleries and exhibitions are ephemeral and mint copies are rare - as they were by nature, not intended to be kept forever. In the circumstances when only a few visitors recognized their aesthetic or cultural importance and held onto them, we and therefore you, the customer/collector get a rare opportunity to acquire special works that document pivotal exhibitions in the world of 20th Century Art.
