NIKLAUS STOECKLIN (1896-1982) E GUETE! 1961.
50 1/4x35 1/2 inches, 127 1/2x90 cm. Wasserman, Basel.
Condition B+: abrasions at edges; skinning in image.
Two decades after he pioneered the style, Stoecklin revisits his hyper realist, new objectivity. The label reads "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. Stoecklin 111, p. 51.
