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.

Pierre Alechinsky
Pierre Alechinsky is a belgian painter born in 1927 in Brussels. Attracted by painting, Pierre Alechinsky begins aged 17 in the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture et des Arts Décoratifs de la Cambre in Brussels. He was involved in the Cobra artistic movement with Karel Appel and Asger Jorn and organised exhibitions. In the early fifties, he learnt the art of engraving with Stanley William Hayter and also Japanese calligraphy. He met Giacometti, Bram Van Velde, and Victor Brauner. In 1955, he signs for his first exhibition at the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles, then at the Institute of Contemporary Arts of London. His artworks, prints, lithographies, engravings and books illustrations can also be found in the USA, in France, in the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany. On and after 1965, fascinated by the Oriental calligraphy, he uses acrylic painting, ink, different types of paper as bills, and gets carried away by action painting technique. During the eighties, he became for four years a teacher of plastic arts at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts. Also a writer, Pierre Alechinsky published many books including «Titres et pains perdus », « Baluchon et ricochets », and in 2004 «Des deux mains ». He lives and works in France.
