About the Item
The circa 1970 original exhibition poster "Sens Interdit" by Jean-Pierre Raynaud for the Alexandre Iolas Gallery captures the bold and conceptual essence of Raynaud's work. Known for his minimalist, often stark and symbolic style, Raynaud is a prominent figure in contemporary French art, particularly famous for his exploration of space, control, and societal restrictions—perfectly encapsulated by the title "Sens Interdit" (translated as "No Entry" or "Forbidden Direction"). This exhibition poster not only promotes the show but also serves as a visual extension of Raynaud's artistic philosophy.
Jean-Pierre Raynaud (born in 1939) gained recognition for his works that interrogate boundaries, rules, and prohibitions, frequently using everyday objects and signs of authority in his art. One of his most iconic pieces, the red and white stop sign, became a central motif in his oeuvre, reflecting his fascination with control and regulation in both personal and public spaces. His works often use stark colors—especially red, white, and black—paired with geometric forms and industrial materials like ceramic tiles or road signs, creating a sense of order and rigidity.
Raynaud's "Sens Interdit" exhibition, as represented by this poster, would likely have reflected his broader interest in the interplay between personal freedom and societal constraints. The title itself is emblematic of his use of street signage, a common theme in his work that symbolized prohibition and control. This motif of restricted movement or "no entry" speaks to his larger commentary on how individuals navigate within structured, rule-bound societies.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Raynaud’s work started gaining international recognition, and his exhibitions became known for their immersive, often unsettling environments. His "La Maison" (The House), which he built in 1969, is a famous example of his desire to create controlled, minimalist environments. Made entirely of white tiles, "La Maison" was a reflection of purity, sterility, and constraint, further cementing Raynaud's reputation as an artist deeply interested in psychological and physical spaces.
The Alexandre Iolas Gallery was a key player in promoting avant-garde and contemporary art during this period. Iolas was instrumental in promoting many groundbreaking artists like Andy Warhol and René Magritte. Hosting Jean-Pierre Raynaud’s work in the gallery would have aligned perfectly with Iolas' mission to present art that challenged conventions and pushed boundaries. The gallery was known for its bold curation, introducing European and American audiences to the cutting-edge of modern and conceptual art.
The "Sens Interdit" poster is likely a reflection of Raynaud's minimalist yet provocative approach. The design would have been simple but impactful, perhaps featuring the bold, geometric forms and striking colors for which Raynaud is known. As a collectible, this poster is significant not only for its connection to the celebrated Alexandre Iolas Gallery but also as a representation of Raynaud's influential work during a key period in his career.
For collectors and art historians, this poster serves as a valuable artifact, representing the intersection of two major forces in the contemporary art world: Jean-Pierre Raynaud’s unique, rule-based artistic vision and Alexandre Iolas' trailblazing gallery, which provided a platform for radical and challenging art in the 20th century.

Located in PARIS, FR
Original Serigraphy
This electrifying 1969 original exhibition poster was created for a show by Martial Raysse at the iconic Galerie Alexandre Iolas, a gallery that was instrumental in championing avant-garde artists across the major art capitals of the time. The poster is a bold visual manifesto of the Pop-infused, Neo-figurative aesthetic that defined Raysse’s work in the 1960s.
A pioneer of the French Nouveau Réalisme movement, Raysse blended glamour and critique in his exploration of consumer culture, plastic beauty, and artificial color. This poster is no exception: with its blazing fuchsia backdrop, cutout-style female profile, and shadowy black forms outlined in acid-yellow, it creates a near-hallucinogenic contrast that pulses with visual energy. The hand-rendered neon typography glows against the black bands above and below, recalling the commercial signage of American pop culture while exuding an unmistakably European sophistication.
The poster not only served to promote the exhibition—it was a work of art in its own right. Galerie Iolas...

1982 vintage poster by Razzia for the Paris Posters exhibition
By Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix–Dénériaz)
Located in PARIS, FR
This striking 1982 vintage poster, designed by Razzia, was created to promote the Paris Posters exhibition at the Musée de l’Affiche et de la Publicité during the summer (Été 82). Featuring a bold and graphic collage-style composition, the artwork embodies the dynamic energy of 1980s design.
Razzia, a renowned French graphic artist, is celebrated for his iconic Art Deco-inspired poster designs with a modern twist. In this piece, he juxtaposes a stylized black-and-white Eiffel Tower, a monochrome portrait of a woman, and an accordion transformed into the Arc de Triomphe, all set against a dramatic black background with vivid color accents.
The use of cutout-style imagery and neon-inspired typography reflects the postmodern aesthetic of the early 1980s, capturing the bold creativity of the era. The vibrant contrast of yellow, red, and blue highlights adds to the poster’s visual impact, making it a standout example of contemporary French graphic design.
A rare and collectible piece, this original Razzia poster...
