Pop Art posters & prints from France and Italy capture the bold and iconic aesthetic of the movement. Often created for museum exhibitions and gallery shows, they feature celebrated works by Andy Warhol and other Pop Art pioneers.
Warhol’s timeless images of Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley, Mao Zedong, and his vibrant Flowers series are frequently highlighted, showcasing Pop Art’s fascination with celebrity, power, and striking visual design. Posters inspired by Chanel No. 5 and films like Blow-Up further reflect the genre’s embrace of modern life and iconic imagery.
Original color silkscreen print created by Peter Gee in 1969 as part of a Merrill Lynch advertising campaign. The design reflects the visual language of financial information and communications. The image appears to depict an electronic stock market news or quotation board rendered as a photomontage and transformed through Gee’s vivid Pop art color palette. The result is a striking composition suggesting the rapid flow of financial information and activity associated with the trading floor.
Peter Gee (1932–2005) was a British-born artist and graphic designer associated with the Pop art movement in New York. After serving as a graphic designer in the British Army and exhibiting in London and Paris, he moved to New York in 1962 where his distinctive graphic style gained recognition. Gee participated in the Word and Image exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1968 alongside artists such as Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana. His silkscreen prints are known for their strong graphic structure, vivid color combinations, and influences drawn from Bauhaus design principles and modernist abstraction.
Gee also taught color theory and design at the School of Visual Arts in New York, the Rhode Island School of Design, and Harvard University. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto.

THE BEATLES (BANNER) – RICHARD AVEDON – 1967 – Original 1967 Printing
Original black-and-white Beatles banner poster created by Richard Avedon in 1967 during the height of the Sgt. Pepper era. Commissioned by The Beatles’ company NEMS, Avedon photographed John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr individually in London against a stark white backdrop, producing what would become one of the most iconic visual statements of the 1960s.
The full Avedon series included four colorized psychedelic portraits and this striking black-and-white composite banner. The images were published internationally in early 1968 through The Daily Express (UK), LOOK Magazine (USA), and Stern (Germany). This example is from the original European Stern printing, produced by PPP Printers.
Although thousands were printed at the peak of Beatlemania, relatively few survive in strong condition. Most were displayed with tape and later discarded. Authentic 1967 printings such as this are the only versions considered original first editions and have become important cultural artifacts, frequently featured in Pop Art, 1960s, and Rock & Roll exhibitions.

Original vintage exhibition poster created for Andy Warhol: Ten Marilyns at the Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst in Ghent, Belgium, in 1990. This poster was printed using imagery from Warhol’s famous Ten Marilyns silkscreen portfolio, one of his most recognized series dedicated to Marilyn Monroe.
Warhol began creating portraits of Monroe in the early 1960s, following her death in 1962, transforming her into one of the central icons of his Pop Art career. The Ten Marilyns portfolio condensed his fascination with celebrity, glamour, and repetition, themes that defined much of his work.
This poster, printed in offset lithography, faithfully reproduces the visual impact of the original silkscreens while serving as a piece of cultural history tied to Warhol’s international exhibitions. It remains highly collectible as an authentic 1990 printing, mounted on linen for preservation, in excellent condition.

This is an original Italian advertising poster designed by René Gruau for Bemberg, promoting the brand’s rayon jacket linings. The slogan translates roughly as “Bemberg – the lining that goes fast.”
Gruau depicts motorcyclists wearing jackets opened in motion to reveal vividly colored linings, making the interior fabric the central visual element. Rather than focusing on the motorcycle itself, the image emphasizes movement, style, and the contrast between the outer garment and its lining.
The poster was part of a campaign that repositioned Bemberg linings from a hidden functional detail to a visible design feature. Gruau’s graphic style—bold shapes, limited palette, and strong sense of motion—fits naturally with the motorcycle theme while remaining rooted in fashion illustration. This work reflects his long involvement with luxury and apparel advertising and is a good example of his later commercial posters.
