Austrian posters on ebay |
link |
12:25 |
About 130'000 posters are offered for sale each day on the american auction site www.ebay.com, and another 15'000 at the german branch www.ebay.de, and 2400 on www.ebay.fr . If I am starting to push some of these auctions on Poster Page or Poster Blog, I will end up in a snake pit of requests from everybody. But I make an exception for the current auction of 39 original posters from the estate of Hans Hofmann (1906 - 1973), a well known austrian designer, because austrian vintage posters do not appear on the market very often, and also because of the exceptionally high quality of the reproductions on these auction pages. Please note that I have no connection to the seller and do not endorse or recommend his sale in any way. |
