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). Rare, especially in a mint state, such as this copy.
