Original color lithographic poster created for the exhibition of works by Walasse Ting at Galerie Adrien Maeght, 42 rue du Bac, Paris 7. This is a period printing, relatively scarce in this format, featuring a striking reproduction of Ting’s work with vibrant, luminous colors. Signed in the plate.
Walasse Ting (1929–2010) was a Chinese-born artist whose work bridges Abstract Expressionism, CoBrA, and Pop Art. After early exhibitions in Hong Kong, he settled in Paris where he associated with artists such as Pierre Alechinsky while remaining independent of any formal movement. His work combines elements of traditional Chinese painting with a modern, expressive, and highly gestural style, often focusing on recurring subjects such as women, horses, and flowers. Ting described himself as an autodidact, working freely between Eastern and Western influences, and was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1970.

A beautiful exhibition poster for painter Yves Brayer, depicting a lone figure walking along a Provençal path filled with color and vegetation. The composition reflects Brayer’s deep connection to the landscapes of southern France, rendered with a rich, expressive sensitivity that defines his work.
Yves Brayer (1907–1990) was a prominent French painter who trained at the École des Beaux-Arts and exhibited at the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Indépendants. He was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1957. While best known for his evocative interpretations of Provence, Brayer traveled extensively, capturing the character of Spain, Italy, Morocco, and other regions with a distinctive, expressive style.
This poster was created for his 1972 exhibition at Galerie “65” in Cannes and printed by the renowned Mourlot studio in Paris. Mourlot is celebrated for producing some of the finest lithographic posters of the 20th century, working with artists such as Picasso, Léger, Miró, Matisse, and Chagall.
Printed as an original lithograph, the poster has strong decorative appeal and represents a fine example of French exhibition poster production from the period.

Lithographic plate reproducing the poster design Zolfi by Ettore Malerba, issued as part of the well-known Ricordi Portfolio. This series presented a selection of important poster designs printed by the Ricordi publishing house during the height of the Italian poster movement between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The portfolio gathered together small-format reproductions of these works and was distributed internationally in the early twentieth century.
Casa Ricordi of Milan, originally a music publisher closely associated with the Italian opera world, developed a major lithographic printing workshop in the late nineteenth century. Through its printing department the firm produced posters for music, theatre, and commercial clients and became a central force in the development of the Italian poster. The artists working with Ricordi helped define the Italian version of Art Nouveau, often referred to as Stile Liberty.
Leopoldo Metlicovitz (1868–1944) was one of the principal designers associated with Ricordi. His posters and illustrations are recognized for their elegant compositions and refined color work, and he contributed numerous designs for theatre, publishing, and advertising.

Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This plate presents Eugène Grasset’s elegant advertising design for Encre Marquet, a French ink manufacturer. Grasset, one of the pioneers of Art Nouveau, was celebrated for his graceful line work, flattened color harmonies, and stylized decorative compositions that drew on medieval and Japanese sources. His poster for Encre Marquet exemplifies this refined approach, transforming a simple commercial product into a work of artistic sophistication.
Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was one of the earliest journals devoted exclusively to poster art, issued in limited numbers for collectors. Published under the artistic direction of Jules Chéret at the Chaix atelier, each issue contained stone-lithograph reductions of major affiches, printed on fine paper using the same techniques as the large-format originals. These plates offered collectors access to authentic poster art by the leading designers of the Belle Époque in a more practical and collectible format.
Grasset’s Encre Marquet remains an iconic example of French poster design in the 1890s, combining functionality, elegance, and the stylistic innovation that defined Art Nouveau.
