The Piece
This original 1978 concert poster was designed by the acclaimed graphic artist Günther Kieser for the "Jazz in the Garden" series at the Nationalgalerie Berlin. The artwork features one of Kieser's signature "imaginary heads," a surreal face constructed entirely from vibrant leaves, flowers, and organic elements set against a pebbled background. The design visually harmonizes the organic growth of nature with the improvisational spirit of jazz.
Why It Matters
- Günther Kieser is renowned for his surrealist music posters, particularly his "heads" series which are icons of German graphic design.
- The poster documents a significant cultural moment in Berlin, featuring jazz legends like Art Blakey, Horace Silver, and Betty Carter.
- This is a rare, large-format A0 survivor from the 1978 festival season, highly collectible for its artistic merit.
