About the Item

This original 1991 exhibition poster, designed by renowned Belgian artist Pierre Alechinsky, was created for the Chicago International Art Exposition, held from May 9 to 14 at Donnelly Hall. The Chicago International Art Expo was one of the leading contemporary art fairs of its time, attracting major galleries, collectors, and artists from around the world. Alechinsky’s dynamic composition features his signature expressive, gestural line work, combined with a fluid, almost calligraphic energy. The border of the poster, filled with whimsical and abstract fish-like forms, wraps around a soft gradient background where the exhibition details are printed. The piece exudes movement, spontaneity, and a sense of organic flow, hallmarks of Alechinsky’s distinct visual language. As a member of the CoBrA movement, Alechinsky’s work is deeply rooted in abstract expressionism, surrealism, and automatism. His playful yet intense use of line and form invites the viewer into a dreamlike, almost mythical world. This original 1991 poster serves as both a vintage collectible and a testament to Alechinsky’s lasting impact on contemporary art. It embodies the spirit of the Chicago International Art Exposition, a landmark event in the global art scene.
