Original color silkscreen print created by Peter Gee in 1969 as part of a Merrill Lynch advertising campaign. The design reflects the visual language of financial information and communications. The image appears to depict an electronic stock market news or quotation board rendered as a photomontage and transformed through Gee’s vivid Pop art color palette. The result is a striking composition suggesting the rapid flow of financial information and activity associated with the trading floor.
Peter Gee (1932–2005) was a British-born artist and graphic designer associated with the Pop art movement in New York. After serving as a graphic designer in the British Army and exhibiting in London and Paris, he moved to New York in 1962 where his distinctive graphic style gained recognition. Gee participated in the Word and Image exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1968 alongside artists such as Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana. His silkscreen prints are known for their strong graphic structure, vivid color combinations, and influences drawn from Bauhaus design principles and modernist abstraction.
Gee also taught color theory and design at the School of Visual Arts in New York, the Rhode Island School of Design, and Harvard University. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto.

APPLE iPOD — SILHOUETTE ADVERTISING POSTER — c.2000–2007
Original large-format advertising poster produced by Apple for the promotion of the iPod. Part of the well-known “silhouette” campaign used internationally during the early 2000s, the design features a black dancing figure holding the distinctive white iPod and headphones set against a vivid brightly colored background. This graphic campaign became one of the most recognizable visual identities associated with Apple and the iPod during its rise in popularity.
Printed for bus-stop and outdoor advertising displays, these posters were produced in large format on coated poster stock with highly saturated colors intended for high visibility in public spaces. The French-language version reads “10,000 chansons dans la poche. Mac ou PC,” referring to the iPod’s ability to store thousands of songs and its compatibility with both Mac and PC computers.
The silhouette series appeared in several color variations including green, pink, yellow, and purple. Because these posters were originally produced for outdoor advertising displays, examples preserved in excellent condition are relatively scarce.

This is an original Italian advertising poster designed by René Gruau for Bemberg, promoting the brand’s rayon jacket linings. The slogan translates roughly as “Bemberg – the lining that goes fast.”
Gruau depicts motorcyclists wearing jackets opened in motion to reveal vividly colored linings, making the interior fabric the central visual element. Rather than focusing on the motorcycle itself, the image emphasizes movement, style, and the contrast between the outer garment and its lining.
The poster was part of a campaign that repositioned Bemberg linings from a hidden functional detail to a visible design feature. Gruau’s graphic style—bold shapes, limited palette, and strong sense of motion—fits naturally with the motorcycle theme while remaining rooted in fashion illustration. This work reflects his long involvement with luxury and apparel advertising and is a good example of his later commercial posters.

Paul McCartney by Richard Avedon (1967–68) – Original Beatles Pop Art Poster
This is the original 1967–68 Pop Art poster of Paul McCartney, created by photographer Richard Avedon for STERN Magazine in Germany. It is one of four color portraits from the complete Beatles series designed during the peak of the psychedelic era.

In late 1967, Avedon photographed each of the Beatles individually in a London studio he prepared for the project.

The Paul McCartney portrait, with its kaleidoscopic palette and intricate composition, reflects the optimism and creative energy that defined the Beatles at the close of the decade. The posters were printed and distributed in early 1968 through STERN Magazine and affiliated publications in the United States and Europe.
This image has become one of the most enduring icons of 1960s Pop Art, bridging fine art and popular culture. It has appeared in numerous exhibitions and remains one of the most collectible of the Avedon Beatles series.
