Joan Miro - Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Malerei des 20. Jahrhunderts scarce museum poster, 1967
Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen -
Malerei des 20. Jahrhunderts (20th Century Painting) Museum poster
Original Vintage Stone Lithographic Museum Exhibition Poster, 1967
(Located in Düsseldorf, the capital of the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia (Nordrhein-Westfalen)
The featured artwork on the poster is titled "Personnages Rythmiques" (Rhythmic Characters), originally painted by Miró in 1934
Official German museum archives and design registries list the publication date of this specific promotional typography and offset lithograph poster as 1967. It was published directly by the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen to advertise the permanent collection of 20th-century paintings to the public.
Note: some art dealers have mistakenly claimed this poster was published in 1955. That is incorrect.
The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen was not founded until 1961. An official museum poster featuring its name and core collection brand ("Malerei des 20. Jahrhunderts") could not physically exist in 1955
Art dealers likely associate the 1955 date with the landmark Documenta 1 exhibition in Kassel, Germany, where Joan Miró heavily participated and gained massive prominence in post-war Germany. After the museum was legally founded in 1961, it spent several years acquiring its foundational artwork (most famously buying 88 works by Paul Klee) before finalizing its early promotional materials.
This original poster is rare collectible. (not a reprint).
