An Unfolded German Art Exhibition Poster (measures 28 1/2" x 36 1/2" [72 x 93 cm]) (Learn More) Niederlandisch-Indische Kunstausstellung (literally translates to "Dutch-Indian Art Exhibition"), the 1906 German poster promoting an exhibition of works from the Dutch East Indies to be held at the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum in Krefeld, Germany from October 5th to November 4th. Pictured on the poster are Indonesian artifacts being exhibited, specifically Wayang shadow puppets (a form of puppet theater art found in southeast Asia, sometimes combined with human performers). This poster features art by Johan Thorn Prikker. Note that Johan Thorn Prikker is considered among the most important proponents of the Dutch Art Nouveau. While maintaining a career as a symbolist painter, he also produced textile designs, posters, illustration, mosaics, mural paintings, furniture, and stained glass windows. Thorn Prikker studied at the Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague from 1883 to 1887. After leaving the school, he joined a group of avant garde artists who produced radically new paintings combining flat, distorted forms, curvilinear movement, somber subject matter, and complex symbolism. From 1900 to 1902 he painted mural decorations including a frieze in the art nouveau style at the Leuring house in The Hague. Later he moved to Germany where he taught at several prestigious schools. Artist: Johan Thorn Prikker Important Added Info: Note that four years ago, we were consigned six examples of this poster, and we have now auctioned all of the previous five, and this is the last one. Since we were never consigned any other examples of it in all our years of auctioning, there is an excellent chance that we won't have this poster again, unless one of the past buyers reconsigns it. Condition: good. The poster has many vertical folds scattered throughout with some small tears and tiny paper loss in the borders. This is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that most of the folds will mostly disappear during the linenbacking process and of course the border defects will be restored at the same time, and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
