Retro World Cup Posters

WorldcupSporting Greats are selling a range entitled “World Cup Art” which includes all of the World Cup Posters from the 1930s up to 1990.

Pictured here is the earliest poster (and arguably the best) which is the Art Deco style poster from the Uruguay tournament in 1930. Others of note include Sweden 1958 (a predominantly yellow design), Argentina 1978 (a blue image of two players) and Mexico 1970 (a simple pink design featuring the typical seventies style font). There is also one from England’s 1966 World Cup, which features a cartoon lion if you are particularly patriotic.

All of the posters cost £14.95 and can be ordered via Amazon.

Jennski_home

We have featured Jenn Ski’s work previously, but we think these newly-launched Home Sweet Home prints are worthy of your attention.

Available in a selection of colours, these Eames-inspired giclée prints are sold on archival quality, 100% cotton rag, acid-free paper, and are printed using UV-stable pigment inks.

In addition, each print is individually signed and numbered by the artist, and comes matted and ready for framing in a standard 8-inch x 10-inch frame (not included). But best of all is the price – selling for just $25, which is around £12.50.

Robert Brownjohn Peace Print

Peace_poster_better1Robert Brownjohn was an influential figure in graphic design in both 1950s New York and 1960s London. His work included titles for James Bond films and artwork for the Rolling Stones. The Design Museum recently had an exhibition of his work and although it is too late to see the show, it is not too late to buy one of the limited edition Peace prints commissioned to accompany it.

The Peace poster features the ace of spades between a scrawled P and E with a question mark and was the last piece of work he completed before his death in 1970. It was commissioned to support the New York Peace Campaign in 1969.

This edition consists of 100 numbered prints, on sale for £75. If you like the design but not the price, there is also a poster version available for £5. Visit the Design Museum Shop to buy.

Gagosian Gallery’s Roy Lichtenstein-inspired Pop Art Is poster

Popartis

Late last year, the Gagosian Gallery held its Pop Art Is exhibition in London – but you can still pick up the posters produced in conjunction with it – and without paying the earth.

The image above is the exhibition poster, inspired/dominated by Roy Lichtenstein’s Art image from 1962, with the addition of the exhibition details (so your friends will think you were there, wine glass in hand).

And it’s as cheap as anything to buy – just $20 (£10) to get this 69 x 100cm image on your wall.
