VOLKER PFULLER

Volker Pfuller is a German graphic designer, stage designer, and university professor from the 1950s to the present. He is one of Germany's most important poster, graphics and stage designers, and has won the German/Swiss/Austrian "100 Best Posters of the Year" contest many times. Through early and intense study of the famed Berlin Poster Collection at the Museum for German History (DHM), he is deeply rooted in and inspired by classical Berlin poster art from the 1910s and 1920s (by artists such as Jo Steiner, Klinger, Gipkens, Edel, Zille, Fenneker and even Toulouse-Lautrec), and German Expressionism. As a professor of poster and stage design in Berlin and Leipzig, he has handed down this tradition to a next generation, many of whom have become leading poster artists, illustrators and professors themselves (such as Wagenbreth, Feuchtenberger, ATAK and many others). As of of 2020, he is still alive at the age of 80!
