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.

A graceful lithograph from L’Estampe Moderne series showing a ballerina backstage, poised delicately en pointe in her white tutu as she awaits her turn to dance. The work captures Henri Boutet’s refined sensitivity to gesture and atmosphere—his reputation as “le peintre de la femme” (the painter of women) is evident in this quiet, expectant moment. Published in 1897 by Imprimerie Champenois in Paris, this print was issued by monthly subscription, four plates delivered by post to collectors throughout Europe. Each carried the embossed L’Estampe Moderne blind stamp and exemplified the high quality of French lithography at the close of the century.
This example is in excellent condition, unlined, with fine color and impression. The one shown is representative; all available editions are identical in design and quality, differing only by printed number and month of issue.

Steinlen’s strong diagonals and expressive line work capture both motion and excitement, while appealing to the new culture of cycling that swept through Paris in the 1890s.

Incandescenza – Giovanni Mattaloni, Plate 72 – 1897
Giovanni (Gianni) Mattaloni (Italian, 1852–1914)
Incandescenza, 1897
