Political poster from May 68:
The posters of May 68 were not signed by the artists, who chose to step aside in favour of the collective work. Nearly a thousand posters were created between 14 May and 27 June 1968 all over France, first in art schools (Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris), then in universities and factories.
Each of these small-format posters has its own unique character. They are screen-printed, mainly in red and/or black, on a wide variety of materials: wrapping paper, brown kraft paper, smudges, the end of press rollers, etc. Most of them are stamped by hand with the words "Atelier Populaire, Ex-Ecole des Beaux-Arts".
Our work consists in safekeeping the artistic heritage of advertising that we consider as a sociological trace of the twentieth century civilization. Our restoration studio proposes unique know-how in the conservation of old paper, of museum mounting and restoration of vintage poster. If you have an original old poster, Galerie 1 2 3 Studio is at your service.
The posters we propose are veritable pieces of historic heritage, which have a collector’s value. We offer a service of authenticity and original vintage poster certification and propose detailed condition reports including an Official Certificate of authenticity.
