1987

two of my most favourite dutch posters ever: the 1987 ‘holland festival’ series from ‘studio dumbar’ with staged photography by ‘lex van pieterson’ and semi-opaque metallic, screenprinted text layers for the individual productions

these two have been living in a collection in london for decades and have now come back home to holland and into my own poster collection… which makes me a happy bunny
