About the Item
This powerful original poster was created for the landmark exhibition “Les Vikings”, held at the Grand Palais in Paris from April 2 to July 12, 1992. The exhibition was the 22nd Art Exhibition of the Council of Europe, a major cultural initiative that celebrated Viking history, craftsmanship, mythology, and legacy across the European continent.
Dominated by the dramatic silhouette of an ornately carved Viking ship's prow—its spiral figurehead looming into modernist typography—the design is a visual fusion of historical gravitas and contemporary elegance. Behind the ship, abstract waves in rich blue tones surge around a crimson sun, capturing the restless maritime energy and the mythic aura that surrounds Viking culture.
Printed for the Association Française d’Action Artistique and supported by the Council of Nordic Ministers, this poster is a striking piece of museum ephemera and a reminder of one of the most visually compelling historical exhibitions ever staged at the Grand Palais.
A stunning collectible for enthusiasts of Nordic heritage, exhibition graphics, or early ’90s French design.

View All1982 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...
