PASSAGE THEATER-MARZ.
53x36 3/4 inches. Hollerbaum & Schmidt, Berlin.
Condition A-: minor restoration in margins. Two sheets.
Another poster for the Passage Theater<>, this one both minimal and modernist in design. In simple red and black two women are wrestling over a pair of dumb-bells, suggesting that this "magnificent March" might contain some weightlifting as well. The hand drawn typography is elaborate and modernistic. We have found no reference of this poster, and as it was only hanging on the streets of Berlin for one month, it may very well be the only surviving copy.
