JULIUS GIPKENS (1883-1969) AUSSTELLUNG ALT-CHINA. 1911. 26 1/4x36 1/2 inches. Hollerbaum & Schmidt, Berlin. Condition A-: minor creasing in image; repaired tears through margins. A self taught poster artist, Gipkens was extremely active both before and after World War I. This poster, architecturally composed and with impeccable typography, is one of the finest examples of what the pre-First World War German poster school could do. This was already modern graphic design. ref: Das Fruhe Plakat<>, vol. 3, Gebr. Mann Verlag 1980, no. 1016, table 73.
