Note: This was made after an original painting by the artist. The posters were largely put up in public places as a means of drumming up publicity for the exhibition. Most of these would have been ripped down or pasted over, which means that few can be found in good condition today. These posters have become extremely sought after due to their scarcity.
Condition: Small tears and folds at edges of sheet as is usual with these items.
