Kampen, [Museum Koornmarktspoort], 1968. Broadsheet (61.5 x 43.5 cm). Full colour offset.

A large, vintage poster for an exhibition of the graphic art by the Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972). The exhibition was in the city of Kampen, the Netherlands, from 11 June to 1 July 1968. Escher had already become world famous, but his work was still shown in small, regional Dutch museums, such as the Koornmarktspoort (named after the town's 14th-century Corn Market Gate). The poster shows Escher's Zon en Maan (Sun and Moon), a peculiar name, given that it principally shows birds (Bool 357). Published during Escher's lifetime, this poster design, therefore, most probably personally approved by him. Bottom corners vaguely creased. Rare, especially in a good state, such as this copy.
