Regarding the ARTIST'S POSTER and the GALLERY FOR MODERN ART AND POSTER ART

The artist poster was designed in the main by an artist with an advertising intent and lays claim to having an artistic character. These posters - in the vast majority of the cases they announce a forthcoming exhibition of the artist in question - denote a link in which free art meets and merges with applied art. In these cases it is appropriate to speak of an original draft by the artist of his own poster.

The artist.s poster can show an extraordinary diversity in the form of its appearance. Some come in postcard size, others are could in circular or irregular posters, some are on satin-finished or tracing paper, others on hole-punched or aluminium-laminated cardboard, some printed on aluminium foil or on rubber, others decorated with sand or glitter, there are collages or three-dimensional posters and, finally, alongside mass products there are also unique specimens. Our offer consists in the vast majority of cases of posters that can be traced back to an original draft by the artist. The date printed on the posted determines the date of its origin. Only in a few, especially labelled examples are we talking about reproductions and not about the original graphical products from the time of origin. The Gallery for Modern Art and Poster Art was founded by Dr. Herbert Fritz Lempert, the finest connoisseur and best patron of the artist's poster. When Dr. Lempert died in 1996, the poster stock of his gallery has been in possession of Dr. Hildegard Schaaf in Müngersdorf, Cologne, since 2018 at current location in Köln-Lövenich.
