NIKLAUS STOECKLIN (1896-1982) E GUETE! 1960.
49x34 1/2 inches, 124 1/2x87 cm. Wassermann A. G., Basel.
Condition A-: creases in margins and image. Framed.
Two decades after he pioneered the style, Stoecklin revisits his hyper realist, new objectivity and shows three perfect fried eggs in a copper pan. A label says "E Guete," which is Swiss German for "Guten Apetit." This poster was commissioned by the Swiss egg industry to counteract the increased sales of imported eggs (mainly from Denmark). Stoecklin 51.
