An Unfolded German Art Exhibition Poster (measures 19 3/4" x 27 1/2" [50 x 70 cm]) (Learn More) Deutscher Werkbund, the 1911 German poster promoting an exhibition to take place at the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum in Krefeld (also known as Crefeld until 1929), Germany from April 5th to May 7th. Note that this is an early example of typographic poster by Fritz Hellmut Ehmke, which lead to Bauhaus typography a decade later. The Deutscher Werkbund (German Association of Craftsmen) is a German association of artists, architects, designers, and industrialists, established in 1907. The Werkbund became an important element in the development of modern architecture and industrial design, particularly in the later creation of the Bauhaus school of design. Its initial purpose was to establish a partnership of product manufacturers with design professionals to improve the competitiveness of German companies in global markets. The Werkbund was less an artistic movement than a state-sponsored effort to integrate traditional crafts and industrial mass production techniques, to put Germany on a competitive footing with England and the United States. Artist: Fritz Hellmut Ehmke Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this poster, and it sold for $385! Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It has a few tiny tears in portions of the outer blank border edges and some light creases but otherwise, especially given its age, the poster is in excellent condition!
