We are very happy with the caliber of material offered in this sale. Aside from posters by "big name" artists (Klutsis, Rodchenko, Moor, Deni), and from an exciting group of Cheremnykh-Mayakovsky Volga Famine Relief posters, you will find many "little gems", among them the exotic posters of Azerbaidjan ROSTA, the rayeshnik style 1904 posters of the Russo-Japanese War (these are, in essense, first mass produced Russian political posters; their influence on the Futurists of Segodnyashnii Lubok, and,indirectly, on ROSTA art of the Civil War, and even on early WWII posters production should not be underestimated), a political photo montage poster by the great Soviet film posterist Mikhail Dlugach, and many outstanding posters by relatively obscure artists (Lamadze, N. Yaguzhinsky, Sokolik - to name a few).
We are particulaly excited by being given an opportunity to auction the remarkable USSR 8 poster by K.Zdanevich - his is the major name in the history of the Russian avant-garde, and his posters are virtually impossible to find. Another one of a kind offering is N. Muratov's artwork for the first Boyevoi Karandash poster executed in the satirical caricature manner (no.4 in the 1939-40 series). As always, we had included as many popular WWII period posters as we could get our hands on since the last sale.
Last, but not the least, this auction also includes a small group of Spanish Civil War posters, and a pair of WWII posters produced by the French Voluntary Legion.
