NICKLAUS STOECKLIN (1896-1982) SCHWEIZERISCHE STADTEBAU-AUSSTELLUNG. 1928. 50x35 inches. Gebr. Fretz, Zurich. Condition A-: repaired tear in top margin. Japan. One of the founding fathers of the Swiss poster school, Stoecklin played with geometry, surrealism and hyper-surrealism throughout his career, always with great success. This classic 1928 poster for a construction exhibition plays with the letter Z (as in Zurich), turning it into a row of buildings with the title cleverly arranged on the blue rooftops. This strict geometric approach parallels the subject, making for a bold and powerful image. ref: Posters<>, Abbeville Press, New York 1984, p. 133.
