Posters are a true form of art with a purpose aimed at delivering a particular message through striking designs. These original vintage posters were created to grab the attention of passers-by, presenting artists with the challenge of condensing the message or a concept into a precise, short visual and written form in a single artwork. They are important items of social history that capture the essence of the time they were printed. Original vintage posters are recognised as a sound art investment that can be enjoyed on your walls every day. AntikBar provides collection advice and conducts searches for clients, interior designers, collectors, museums and other institutions. Poster values have been steadily increasing year-on-year and quality pieces are very much in demand. The most influential factors are rarity, the artist or designer, subject, style, period and condition. This information booklet accompanies our Introduction to Collecting Posters talk.
