This large-format serigraph poster was created by the French artist Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix-Dénériaz) in 1998 for 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 1998 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.

An authentic Razzia serigraph from the long-running Louis Vuitton Parc de Bagatelle car show series. Collectors prize these posters both for their connection to the history of Louis Vuitton’s sponsorship of classic car culture and for Razzia’s signature graphic style.
