Practically beyond modernism, and bordering on surrealism and just plain incomprehensibility, this poster may well be one of the more intriguing included in the auction. The image is a photograph of a company name drawn in plaster, but the product being advertised is women's underwear. The quality of the photograph and the printing are very impressive, but it is impossible to fathom any connection between the image and the product being offered.
