A Linenbacked Undated (probably 1980s) Polish Commercial Poster (made to be sold directly to the public; measures 26 3/4" x 38 1/2" [68 x 98 cm]) (Learn More)

Cyrk (literally translates to "Circus"), the Polish circus poster featuring great artwork. Contemporary Polish circus posters emerged in 1962 as a genre of the Polish School of Posters. They are characterized by their display of aesthetic qualities such as painterly gestures, linear design, hand-lettering, metaphors, humor, and vibrant colors. Usually based on a single theme and meant to be advertisements, they were created in an attempt to interest the passerby in the upcoming circus. However, they proved so popular that some were reprinted and sold directly to the public and we list those as commercial posters.

Artist: Jan Lenica

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of four different linenbacked Polish commercial circus posters we are currently auctioning, each with a completely different image, in four separate auctions.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster was never folded. Either before or after it was backed, it acquired some creases scattered in the lower black area and bits of surface paper loss scattered in the upper and lower right. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
