STEDELIJK MUSEUM POSTERS BY COLOR (ENGLISH EDITION)

A striking publication showcasing approximately 500 carefully selected works from the vast collection of over 20,000 posters held by the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

The defining feature of this volume is its arrangement by color: posters are thoughtfully curated in spectrums of red, orange, yellow, green, pink, white, black, purple, and blue. By stepping away from traditional chronological or regional categorisations, works spanning from the 19th century to the present day sit side by side. Free from preconceived notions of "masters" or "famous masterpieces", readers are invited to make unexpected connections and fresh visual discoveries.

From refined graphic art for museum exhibitions and vibrant, pop commercial advertisements to raw, high-impact activist and political posters, this impressive volume offers a comprehensive look into the diverse roles and expression methods of poster design across history.
