London’s vintage poster specialists AntikBar is a business that translates well to the digital world as artworks are products we will buy online. Boss Kirill Kalinin say they’re doing well with online auction sales.. certainly people have a lot more time to stare at the walls at the moment and think, mmm, an empty space is a dull space, better get some pictures up asap. The company has also used this period of quarantine to launch its new book website which focuses on 1920s 1930s book design and ephemera covering the major art movements including Bauhaus, Constructivism and Art Deco.
Pictured above: Red Field Krasnaya Niva #19 1928. This weekly Soviet magazine was first published in 1922. Left: new to the AntikBar collection, a 1937 travel poster from the French authorities
Visit the site for books printed in Soviet Russia in the 19201930s, when constructivism was the mainstream art and design movement in the USSR. Book prices from £50
