Razzia Louis Vuitton Bagatelle 1989 hand signed original (Gerard Courbouleix)
Poster created by French artist Razzia for the 1989 Concours d’Élégance Automobiles Classiques held at the Parc de Bagatelle in Paris, an annual showcase of rare and prestigious automobiles hosted by Louis Vuitton. The composition captures a glamorous woman in high fashion attire standing beside a Ferrari California Spyder (1959), one of the most coveted sports cars of its era.
Razzia’s style, with its bold lines, strong color fields, and refined Art Deco influence, perfectly complements the elegance of both the setting and the subject. The Parc de Bagatelle, with its manicured gardens and historic château, provided an ideal backdrop for an event celebrating beauty, craftsmanship, and exclusivity.

Original French advertising poster for Taittinger Champagne. The design uses a clever visual device in which the viewer looks through the bowl of a Champagne flute to see the silhouette of an elegant blonde woman wearing a fitted black evening gown. The refined composition reflects the glamour and sophistication associated with Champagne advertising of the period. The figure is often thought to resemble Grace Kelly, though it was modeled after the French actress Catherine Deneuve.
Founded in 1932 by Pierre-Charles Taittinger, the Taittinger Champagne house remains one of the major family-run Champagne producers. The company has long emphasized traditional methods and careful control of quality, values reflected in its advertising campaigns.

Razzia Louis Vuitton Bagatelle 1998 hand signed original (Gerard Courbouleix)
Louis Vuitton sponsored a Car show every year in the Bagatelle parc Paris and each year Razzia created a new image.
The poster is hand-signed by the artist and comes directly from him. Unlike some sellers who only claim to offer original hand-signed Razzia posters, ours are guaranteed to be authentic. We can provide a Certificate of Authenticity if you ask for one.
This large-format serigraph poster was created by the French artist Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix-Dénériaz) in 1992for Louis Vuitton’s annual “Automobiles de Princes” car show, held in the Parc de Bagatelle in Paris. From 1989 through the late 1990s, Louis Vuitton sponsored this prestigious vintage automobile event, commissioning Razzia each year to produce a new image. His bold Art Deco–inspired designs gave the series a distinctive visual identity that has since become highly collectible.
The present example is the original 1992 serigraph printing, produced for Louis Vuitton at the time of the event — not a later reproduction. Printed in large format at 47 × 63 inches (120 × 160 cm), the poster is unlined and in excellent condition, showing the vibrant colors and graphic clarity typical of Razzia’s work.
