This premier museum exhibition poster features a breathtaking, highly detailed lithographic print of Claude Monet’s iconic Impressionist masterpiece "Coquelicots" (The Poppy Field near Argenteuil, 1873).
True to its historic collector status, the piece retains the original, clean modernist typography layout engineered by pioneering Swiss-school graphic designer Jean Widmer and his legendary studio, Maquette Visuel Design. Widmer was famously commissioned by the French government to create the comprehensive, award-winning visual brand identity for the Musée d'Orsay during its landmark opening era in the late 1980s.
Published in Paris by the Réunion des musées nationaux (RMN) in collaboration with Spadem and the French Ministry of Culture, this authentic, first-generation exhibition poster was officially printed in France (Imprimé en France, Serial: IA-20-0243). Beautifully housed in a sleek, minimalist metallic gallery frame that perfectly complements its mid-century modern editorial aesthetic. A spectacular cross-collectible investment piece bridging 19th-century French Impressionism and elite late-20th-century European graphic design history. Perfect for high-end interior styling See less
