Description
Japan fascinates with a unique poster culture. Its subtle poetry, mystical messages and glowing colours are just as captivating as the cheeky provocation and rejection of all the accepted rules of visual communication. The exhibition contains over two hundred pieces of poster works that represent the artistic statement and image advertising development in Japan from 1950s to the present day. Highlights include works by three old masters, Shigeo Fukuda, Kazumasa Nagai and Ikko Tanaka. A collaboration with Museum für Gestaltung Zürich and its poster collection.
