Condition B+: minor restoration along unobtrusive vertical and horizontal folds; minor restoration in image, A painter and designer, Pieper studied industrial design in Dortmund before moving to Essen. His few posters all reflect familiarity with the Bauhaus and avant-garde design concepts. Here he employs only two colors and geometric flat tones in an efficient minimalist manner to promote an exhibition of gymnastics, sports and hiking.
