L'Afficiomania: The Passion for French Posters

Richard H. Driehaus Museum, Chicago, IL

ART Paris was transformed by the poster, its boulevards becoming an outdoor gallery of bold, vivid images affixed to walls and specially designed kiosks. L'Affichomania presented a selection of works that convey the visual power of the Golden Age of Posters in the 1890s and early 1900s, drawn from the extensive collection of Richard H. Driehaus. We recreated a kiosk based on historic source material for the entrance to the exhibition.
