Poster. Overzichtstentoonstelling. (Retrospective exhibition).
The Hague, Gemeentemuseum, 1968. Broadsheet (61.1 x 43.3 cm) Printed in full colour.
A vintage poster for a retrospective exhibition (still in his lifetime) of the graphic art by the world-famous Dutch graphic artist Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) in the Municipal Museum of The Hague, between 8 June and 21 July 1968. Later, the Escher Museum opened in The Hague, receiving nearly 200,000 visitors in 2023. The poster is based upon Escher's Andere Wereld (Other World), dating from 1947 (Bool 348). Very slight creasing along edges, otherwise a near mint copy. Rare, especially in this fine state.
