Three Tasteful Vintage Posters

Expanding our inventory of vintage posters by top artists from the last decades of the 20th Century is an ongoing process here at Gallery 98. We are currently photographing and processing a large collection of posters. As a taste of what is to come, here are three favorites. Each is in excellent condition and suitable for framing.

Audrey Flack

Audrey Flack was a leader of the first wave of photorealist artists that emerged at the end of the 1960s. The colorful and alluring subject matter displayed in this poster for the Woman and Art exhibition, is in bold contrast with the work of her male colleagues.

Curt Hoppe

Through most of the 1990s Curt Hoppe chronicled life in the Hamptons in large photorealist paintings. This poster was published by the now extinct Dressen’s, a market famous for its donuts, wide choice of newspapers, and the long lines of summer weekenders on Saturday mornings.

Jamie Reid (1947–2023)

The passing of Jamie Reid last week was a reminder of the incredible furor that Punk and the Sex Pistols caused in England in the late 1970s. Reid provided the “ransom-note” style that helped launch the group and became the iconic look for all Punk visuals. The backside of this double-sided poster provides a retrospective look at Reid’s early work with text and images.
