About the Item

This striking original exhibition poster was published in 1987 to promote one of the most iconic Egyptology exhibitions of the decade: Tanis, L’Or des Pharaons, held at the Grand Palais in Paris from March 26 to July 20. Organized by the Association Française d’Action Artistique, this event unveiled to the French public the dazzling treasures unearthed from the ancient necropolis of Tanis, Egypt’s northern royal city. At the heart of the poster is the luminous gold funerary mask of Psusennes I, an artifact often compared in splendor to the treasures of Tutankhamun. The minimalist black background elevates the mask's majesty, emphasizing its timeless design and glowing material—true testimony to the craftsmanship and symbolism of Egypt's 21st Dynasty. More than a simple promotional print, this original poster has become a collector’s piece for lovers of archaeology, ancient Egypt, and museum ephemera. A rare relic from a golden era of blockbuster exhibitions in Paris. Perfect for framing, and a stunning tribute to the eternal fascination with the mystery and opulence of the Pharaohs. Exhibition - Egypt Funerary mask of King Psusennes - Photo: Henri Stierlin Printed by Moderne du Lion in Paris

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...
